[AquaticLife] Bottled water
Depends. Bottle water can be distilled, which isn’t good for a normal PWC. It can be filtered spring water, which could be good unless they over filtered it. It can be filtered public utility water which could be good unless they over filtered it. I think it’s an expensive option that isn’t necessary in most cases. Now if you have a Betta on your desk at work, or something like that, then I guess using bottled spring water from the office would be OK if you don’t want to keep a dechlor product around. You should probably contact the bottle water maker to find out what is and isn’t in their water and test the pH, GH & KH to find out what those parameters are to see if it’s suitable for your fish.
One last caution… according to some consumer reports, some bottled waters are plain old tap water with nothing done to it so those companies are basically defrauding people.
