Exclamation Good source of water???

I've been using regular tap water from the sink to mist/spray the tank for Maize and to put into her water bowl...I've been reading that some people use bottled water or buy water sanitizers (????) Am I wrong for what I've been doing? Can this hurt my snake? Which is the more affordable way to go then to make her water more healthy (buying bottles or buying a sanitizer?) I hope to hear some anwers quick because now this is worrying me since I read that tap water could have chlorine and ammonia and other things in it..please help me out guys...thanks..

Question

Well it looks like bottled water is going to be the way to go for me..I might go with Poland Spring...I have to look on the bottle and see what is says...other then that...anyone else out there using bottled water have any suggestions of a good bottled water to use?? and maybe some warnings of bad ones to use...

I think they're really for chameleons that won't drink from water bowls

Use purified water, do NOT use distilled water.

The relatively cheap gallon bottles of purified drinking water work well, no need to get the expensive brand name stuff.

I use Reptisafe water conditioner because I've tasted the water that comes out of the faucet and I won't even let the dogs drink it.

If you have a local reptile society they could tell you if your local tap water is good or not. I use tap water with no problems but it's more pure than most cities water.
