    Default Recommended water when permeate is unavailable?

    I've read soft water is ideal if permeate isn't available, and clorinated water is ok if you let it sit for a few days in the sun. I'm thinking water that's treated with salt might not be ideal as it may leave a salty taste, is that correct?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Salt is sodium chloride so not sure that would do any good.Run water and let it sit for a few days is what I do and seems to work

    I use something like this:

    That's just the first one that came up for me. Shop around to get something that reduces as much chlorine, etc. as possible. Be sure to use a hose meant for potable water - NOT a garden hose. Those are sold with RV stuff as well.
