Like I said from the beginning it could be an issue with something inside your water heater. It's very common for all manner of stuff to start breaking down in there and make its way into the tanks.
I'm very skeptical that it is something coming from the actual water source that would kill the fish so rapidly. A good water conditioner like prime would take care of any chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals. Spikes in nitrates would also not kill that fast.
Is your heater working/intact? What's the temperature of the water? Is the heater cracked putting live current into the tank?

My new fish that died was never exposed to the tank, so it's nothing like my water heater. Our hot water heater was actually replaced 6 months ago (I live in an apartment). I'm thinking it is something in the water...
