I use bottled water. i do not use tap so there is not chlorine so i have not used a biozyme or something similar. should i use tap water and add the chemicals? would that be more beneficial for bacteria growth? i thought it would be helping to use purified water Question

I think bottled water is ok, I would think distilled water may be too 'clean'..

Do you know how much chlorine, flouride, and the pH of your tap water? You may not have to go to the expense of bottled if everything else is good.

I definately haven't researched anything to do with bottled/distilled water before so the preceeding is simply a guess on my part.
