    Is this an additive for drinking water?

    I am tired of spending money and wasting water bottles for water for my herps. is this an additive to make drinking water safe, or swimming water?

    You want to be careful about filtering water. If it's removing minerals you might be doing more harm then good.

    Use your faucet.

    If you're that concerned about what *could* be in your water, then get a britta filter.

    Yeah that will work, or you could use Faucet Filtration.

    I use old milk jugs and fill them with water. I let them sit for 24 hours with the cap off to let some of the chlorene evaporate. After that it is fine.

    Buy the filter that goes on your faucet. Then you can drink the flitered water. My refrigerator has a filter built in and it's the best tasting water.
