...tap water has high pH but also high ppm. Mine is at 350ppm and a 6.7ph after distill, you can google your local municipality for water treatment. Put into a jug and let it sit for a couple days for dechlorination, all I use is tap water, I have to pH down it every feeding... constant unnecessary battle for myself 😔😔🤣🤣
