    strips are at Walmart. About ten bucks, and I too have to go to parents for water. And it shows differences in water from just 100 feet away. My home water comes up full of nitate and nitrite. Thief water if purer than the fresh fallen snow. Hardness comes from metals, alkalinity comes from natural salts in water. If u do have to use water conditioner make sure it doesn't say slime coat. water filters don't remove nitrates, only reverse osmosis. And conditioner doesn't remove it ithor. So that's most important.

    Is conditioned tap water the best to use? I put distilled in my vivarium, but the frogs aren't in it yet and I can easily siphon it out. Would it regrade the frog's health or be hazardous to them if I used distilled?

    Yep, tap with a conditioner. Distilled is used for misting and for medical treatment for toxed out frogs.

    I'm not sure if my tap has ammonia or fluoride added. Would it be okay to use conditioner that takes out chlorines and metals on arrowhead spring water?
