IF the iron is working properly, the only thing leaving the vents should be pure H2O vapor (steam). When water is heated to steam, it's the water molecules that go into the air as a gas, leaving the minerals behind. The reason so many (especially older) irons needed to have distilled water was because those minerals left behind can build up and clog the steam vents and channels. Robin P.
