I've read that it's advised not to use tap water to mix your SN, especially in the United States, because it might be acidic and lower the effectiveness of the SN with whatever chemicals are in it. Some bottled waters also have pH levels below 7, though. I'm wondering if this will be a real problem or not; I can't afford to fail, so I have to nitpick every detail. If this is a valid concern, does anyone know if alkaline water will work? I have this 9.5 pH water, but it too contains some other chemicals. Should I get distilled water instead? Or will any decent bottled water probably end up working fine?

I'm the one who wrote that in some places the water may be acidic in the US. It's true, but I think SN only reacts if it's really acidic- like pH of 1 or 2. I wouldn't worry if it's a pH of like 5 or 6. It only changes in really acidic conditions

I've bought some distilled water and frozen it ready- just to be on the safe side. Likely won't make a difference but seems sensible to get everything as optimum as possible. I really want to get it right first time. That said- I'll likely be taking expired meto- which is a whole lot worse!

If you're in the US, dont drink tap water. Its very common to have impurities, its not as clean as you'd think. Google Flint, Michigan tap water to give you an idea.
