Distilled water or regular bottled water?

[Eric Alan]

precautions meaning that my towns public water may not be safe after reading the water report. never have i made that im better than any of you nor do i beleive that im better. you yourself said you use purified tap water which we do not have but am planning on adding a purifying system to my house so i dont have to use bottled water forever but for now thats all i have to work with. I wasnt sure why everyone was jumping down my throat it sure seemed that alot of people had a problem with it. Again i DONT beleive im any better than any of you just want the best for my animals and in MY case (cause of hard/contaminated water) is bottled water.

I've been trying really hard to stay out of this, but I have to give my worth after this. Not until the 4th page of this thread did you mention that your source of water may not be safe. If this is in fact the case, then there's not a single one of us here who would continue to provide that water to our animals and of course would find an alternative source until the problem was resolved. If you would have started with that on the 1st page, instead of this...

No offense but I'd never give tap water to any of my animals, not my cat not my snakes unless our water was purified which its not. I'll stick with bottled water. Thanks for the input!

...then this thread would have taken an entirely different direction. You said that you would never give tap water to any of your animals - you did not say that you would never give unsafe tap water to any of your animals. Those are two very different things.
