AFAIK this is only good advice if your tap water isn't too hard as apparently this can damage the nib.
- bayindirh 6y agoThanks for pointing out. I've never experienced that problem tho. Also, I've seen no warning about it from the veterans in the FPN. In my country, bottled water is very cheap hence it's used a lot in the household. I prefer bottled water for dunking my pens. In any way, a pen doesn't stay in room temperature water more than 24 hours and inks already have cleaners inside. For a frequently used pen, you don't need to clean it more than 3-4 times a year. It's always possible to "power wash" a pen with a bulb syringe and some water in 5 minutes but it needs some experience and willingness.
