Which Water??

[stcardoza]

Hi,
The water in my new house is pretty bad, and we are trying to switch to using store bought water. I must admit though, that I get a little confused as to which water to use since there are so many choices. Our LFS sells RO water at a good price, but you have to bring your own buckets and it can be a pain, and the local grocery store sells spring water, drinking water, and distilled water. My question is which type of water would be best to use...RO, drinking, spring, or distilled? Is there any type I should stay away from? Please let me know any of your thoughts/experiences. Thanks!

Oh, by the way, this is water for the fish tank if I didn't make it clear in the first post.

go with your RO water

Distilled or RO water. I wouldn't even consider the other two.

RO Water...definitely.

I'm not trying to argue with Bang, but I wouldn't use the distilled stuff. It depends on how they condense the water vapor, if they use aluminum or copper coils, then those metals could be in the water. Problem is you have no way of knowing. I'd probably stick with the RO/DI water.

FOR SURE FORE SURE RO WATER OR DI WATER THE BEST WAY TO GO.
