Can non-distilled water be used for a cpap machine?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes but not best: I would recommend distilled only. The machine will last much longer, and it will be healthier for you as well.

Yes, but: Yes, but minerals in non-distilled water will eventually clog machine.
