Don't use it and get an RO unit. Even with an iron filter you are going to have other issues to contend with.
I live in the country and deal with water issues. It is better to use an RO or RO/DI unit and add water to any aquarium this way.
After spending as much money as you are going to establishing the aquarium, spending $200 for an RO unit is just good, common sense if you want to prevent water parameter issues.
To get it to the tank, use buckets or pour into water jugs for transport. Because I have a bad back (and so does my husband) a two wheel cart does wonders on saving your back when hauling large quantities of water.
