    As long as you rinsed off the Zoo Med stuff, should be ok. I mostly use full-strength white vinegar on water bowls...it dissolves hard water deposits, is mildly antiseptic
    & rinses clean. I use chlorhexidine (diluted) to wipe my cages & hides (no rinsing needed). I'm not familiar with what's in the Zoo Med stuff, btw...what is your water
    bowl made of? If glass, nothing would be absorbed, but even if plastic, I think it would have to sit for a while in the bowl to be much of a risk (in the same way that
    many plastic bottles with disinfectant in say not to re-use the bottles for anything...it also depends on what # the plastic is, ie. how "soft" it is), so I'd say the bowl is a
    very low risk, if at all.
