Can you?

Can you?

If it's the table water no, it's taken out a a
Tap. If it's anyother kind test it for phosphates and copper maybe a few others but most of all why?

I have heard of people using distilled water from the supermarket, but as said why? 25ltrs of ro water from your lfs should cost no more than £3.

Ok, I was wondering as its easier to buy a 2 litre bottle and just chuck it in rather than lugging the RO water which I reserve for water changes. It would help as my LFS is a bit of a drive and it would save on petrol.

Are there any things I should look out for to make sure its okay for my tank?

Not sure what that is. I would just use distilled water as mentioned.

Otherwise, get your hands on a TDS meter and see what it comes out as.

distilled water yes
mineral water no - will have sky high TDS

Sorry Nemo, Tesco is a UK supermarket. They do their own brands like 'Tesco value baked beans' but the water just says 'Tesco value still water'. I'll probably just have to stick with the RO water to be safe.

 

[ben1987]

it will be mineral/tap water. be far far cheaper to stick with RO. if you get on with your LFS, cant you get a coulpe of small jerry cans and rotate them. take a big one for water change and the small one for top ups?

I have 2 25l jerry cans but it doesn't seem to go very far jerry cans are getting hard to find nowadays too
