Check if there's any info on your local tap water online. It's pretty solid where I'm at so I can get away with just boiling to get rid of the chlorine.

Feel sorry for you guys, just plain tap water does over here. I'm Scotland UK.
Gorgeous spider you have there. Search you're species name in the search bar top right and I'm sure you will find plenty of info on it, I have a Phiddipus Regius MM just now he's a sweetheart. We have quite high humidity here all year round so I get away with misting once every 4 days, done that since he I got him at I3 and never had any issues.

Hi guys! New to the spider caring world and I just wanna know, when misting or supplying water, what kind of water should I be using. Any brands to avoid or use? Thank yall. Picture of my baby hallow for relevance
personally as a breeder, I find it’s easiest to stick with distilled water. You can get it basically at any grocery store anywhere you go. You avoid all potential issues and contaminants and it’s just an extra peace of mind for you.

I use distilled for peace of mind, we already keep it around for other things and I don't have to worry about any mineral buildup on the few nice acrylic enclosures I've got.

I use tap water.

I let the water run for a while, and then use that. For my tarantulas and when i have jumpers.

I do have good water. I know its not always the same for everyone.

If you have just one spider, bottled water can last for a long time.
