Some swear by it some don't I personally like to use the cheap bottled water from tesco lol or RO but aged tap water works.

It needs to be aged for a few days mate in a wide mouthed container (bucket works well lol) for the chlorine to dissipate... if your water is particularly hard you will get marks on the glass and such so you might just want to spend 79p on 4 or so liters at tesco Wink
