This will help remove chlorine and any other impurities. You may also choose to try tap water, if you boil it and let it sit for 2 days in sun light. Add only 25 Triops eggs at a time to the environment, in case there is an issue with the water, and you need to start again.HELPFUL HINTS: Each Triops Kit Contains Eggs, Food, Instructions and Helpful Hints.
