I dont see why not, although I hear that all the nutrients, minerals, vitamins/whatever all get filtered out of that water.
well get a ball park PH with the test strips, and add a little lemon juice to drop it down to inbetween 6 and 7.

yeah then it should be fine... just check the ph , add a bit of lemon juice, till the ph is inbetween 6 and 7 on your ph strip stuff.

I guess it depends on what is avail in the area. Some places have pretty nasty drinking water (imo!), and if its too nasty to drink, I wouldnt put it in my plants either! The well water at my mom's place is drinkable (gag), and passed the local water quality testing bs, but it smells horrible (high sulfer) and makes the worst tasting drinking water or coffee. If your tap water isnt like that, then I would bubble out tap water for a day or two to cut costs and the hassle of lugging water home..I did the bottled water gig for a while, but you go through a lot and it adds up,trips to the store, cost, empty bottles. At least disposing them isnt as bad as nute bottles...
For all the talk about water I use tap water and ph balance it. I dont let it sit out 24 hours simply fill my container up, add nutes, ph balance it and works just great. Not a single issue from it. Whats funny on bottled water is what a waste it is. There is ZERO regulation on it. There have been programs on where some of this "pure" water comes from. One major maker is near a nuclear toxic waste processing facility, another says Natural Spring water and when the news asked where the spring was they said someone where in the state. Aquafina uses sewage waste which they buy cheap, filter it and turn around and sell it for a fortune.
