If I ran out of distilled water for my humidifier could I run tap water threw my coffee maker .(Letting it cool of course) It would be boiled and filtered .Or would that just make more pollutants in the water?Just a thought.Good Sleep ,Chris

I don't think you have to go through all of that. Use bottled water until you can get to the store or just boil water/

Tap water for a night or 2 won't hurt anything.
Chlorine smell and sometimes swampy odor from tap spirred me to get a faucet filter which helps I'm just not sure how much it misses.Their has been much work done on the local water network which stirs up all kinds of stuff .So It just got me thinking.....what would mcgiver do?
I doubt that a coffee maker would actually boil water -- at least in this area, not sure about mountain areas.
I have used bottle water the few times I have been away from home. Once or twice I have used tap water. Since I don't typically use the humidifer unless it is winter, I don't know what long term effects of using tap water would do.
I think that a coffee maker would just add a lot of pollutants to the water. I would not trust a coffee filter to be a water filter. Nor would i trust a coffee maker to boil water.
I took a closer look at the coffee maker .It has plastic aluminum and paper filter (if their white they have been bleached).So
I guess their is potential to add traces of all that......yuck ...And the water is heated but not to a rolling boil . Oh well back to wallmart $.88 gallon distilled water for me.
