Circumstellar water maser emission at 22 GHz was searched for in 62 late-type stars and 26 IRAS sources. Unlike for OH masers, low level maser emission occurs often at the edges of the maser velocity interval. Taking this emission into account, the velocity range of H2O masers covers usually the central 80% of the OH maser velocity interval, consistent with a location of H2O masers inside the OH masing shell. Regarding maser variability, it is found that M-supergiant masers appear rather stable in time, while profiles of semiregular variables vary strongly, with Miras and IRC sources falling in between these two groups. The possible cause for this difference is discussed.
