Hi
I was wondering...is it crucial to pre condition the water before it enters the tank or can you put water conditioner in the tank and then put in the tap water. I only ask because I normally use buckets and dechlorinate them first but I was hoping to just use an extension hose from the tab to the tank so save time. Therefore I can't really dechlorinate it first.
Also.... Can I just normal hot water from the hot water cylinder to raise the temp or does it need to be boiled cold tap water? I worry about the heavy metals coming from the hot water tank so I always boil the jug. Water changes take me ages!!! Like a good hour after I've cleaned the glass and trimmed my plants etc. My tank is 300litres. I need a short cut to save time.
