Best water to use for turtles.

I need to do a small scale water change in my turtle tank. What's the best water to use? I have dasani water. Could I use this as long as it room temp? Thanks.

It doesn't really matter, turtles don't produce a slime coat so it wouldn't have an effect.

FYI, most turtle tanks need large scale water changes....weekly.

The type of water isn't extremely important, as long as it doesn't have chlorine or you have a product to dechlorinate. My turtle has done perfectly fine in tap water, minus chlorine of course.
