do you put anything in the water, like a water conditioner to remove the chemicals? if not, the water could be irritating your turtles eyes.

I would recommend using a water conditioner. When I got my turtles a year ago...I started with filtered water with conditioner.... when they were babies... now they are fine in the normal faucet water.
