distilled water

my tap water smells like chlorine so im looking to "water" it down with distilled water since it's pure and lack of minerals and nutrients.
Has anyone done this? if so whats your ratio? im thinking maybe 2 parts 6

If this is a small grow just go to any grocery store and buy gallon bottles. 0.79$

Ursus marijanus
Many municipalities are using chloramine these days. That won't blow off, but can be chemically reduced. Chlorine killer (thiosulfate) drops will do it, and so will a vitamin C tab (500 mg) for every ten gallons. cn
 
You can evaporate the chlorine out of your tap water by leaving it in a bucket with an airstone overnight.
thanks i have my tote airing out now

kinda small but I have just about 60 gallons of totes i was thinking about changing to 5 gallon buckets but that will still put me at 50 gallons

i'll try that vitamin c sounds easier
 
from what i've read leaving your water out for any amount of time uncovered is a bad idea. and 9 times out of 10 the water source from the tap is being controled by chloramine. I would stick to the drops.
