So, obviously these guys need water; large shallow dishes so they don't drown. Not a problem, got that down. I also know that tap water is a no-no.
I have been treating the water with a very diluted solution of seachem prime and water. Is this safe for ingesting or should I look for another product?

Actually, tap water is just fine.
I'd actually be more worried about what's in prime than tap water. If it worries you, just simply let the water stand overnight before using it.
I've used water straight from the tap after my collection increased and never had any problems.

I don't use prime but I've always used the same treated water I always use for my frogs

I also use plain water. Harmful chemicals and gases have usually evaporated by the time your scorp/T decides to take a drink. Chlorinated water is only dangerous to inverts if it gets in their book lungs

I've also always used treated water for myinvertebrates, never had a problem.
I use water treated with ReptiSafe for all my non-mammals.
