Assuming that most tarantulas in the wild that are drinking water derived from rain or dew, then it's essentially the same as distilled water. Trace minerals are inconsequential.
funny, just learned about hypotonic and isotonic solutions this year...so are you saying that tap water won't affect it?
Re tap water, I never use it. I prefer not to take chances with high mineral content.
I was joking, though I like to drink the stuff myself.
Some chemicals, like chlorine, do evaporate. Others like salt and ammonia do not.
Well like for fish. You have to change the ph level and stuff. some like to just let water sit for a day to get rid of the chlorine instead of using a chem. So the chlorine would be my own worry. Although i have not been doing anything about it. I just filled it right from the tap.

What? This was the first post that showed up when i was looking into watering questions. I thought it was the right thing to do by posting on posts already there instead of posting a new "thread".
I believe that baby water usually it's demineralized water, to use it with baby formulas, like milk in powder etc, not for drinking it directly.
Yep, here two big companies, one of coke drinks, and the other who makes chocolates, tried to sell tap water like spring water...
This used to be true before water utility companies started using chloramines. However most places in the US use chloramine now in the water and that won't just evaporate away.
I mentioned chloramine and to check her water composition for that same reason. Here Europe, chlorine and chloramine are highly regulated. For example in my region, chloramine is banned.
Lucky you! Here in my region they literally add fluoride to our water. So we get to drink it, cook with it, and bathe with it too.
