    Water options help

    The tap water here is not an option because they use chlorine but also where I am they put floride in the tap water. So I've been using mountain spring water bottled close to me but its costly doing this for all my water needed and misting and cleaning ect. As my one pet ball python has already expanded to 4 the water bottles are stacking up

    Our tap water is nasty - rock hard, and with the water softener running at max capacity daily it doesn't taste very good either.

    We run all drinking water for people, 3 GSD's, the fish tank, and our 60-odd snakes through a British Berkfeld gravity filter. It's pricey but will pay for itself in a few months not having to purchase bottled water.

    Let the tap water sit for 24 to 48 hours in a jug or get a reverse osmosis filter or brita filter based on your budget.

    I wasn't thinking of a household type Brita or something I've used spring water because I didn't know drinking water filters could remove floride and other nasties just larger particulate
