No.
Distilled is not only void of impurities and clorine but also of minerals. Water filters do not take out minerals. I think the closest to this would be a household reverse osmosis system (expensive) but it still does not take out everything. Buy the distilled water at Wally-World and save yourself a major headache.

I agree, the minerals in your tap water (especially if it's well water) can build up in your humidifier and ruin it. I really don't know what exactly chlorine will do but it cant be good.
I keep a bottle of pre-mixed 50/50 on hand, you can get it at your local smoke shop or online.

I had a pal of mine who was trying to get into the cigar thing half assed and refused to buy distilled water, he used spring water. After 4 weeks of humi time, his humidifier was moldy and the smokes were not doing good.
I would say just buy the distilled water in the bottle. |
