Is this normal? Mine, straight from the tap, has a reading of between 1-2 ppm. That doesn't seem right to me.

I am using dechlorinator, making sure the temps match the one in the tank etc.
I am very sad right now. Spike, my itty bitty swordtail passed away today while I was at work. I knowwwwwwwwwwww, it is my own fault for being dumb and not doing a fishless cycle. I have never had an aquarium before though. I have done 2 PWC today since I can't seem to get the ammonia levels down. It doesn't seem to do much good though, since my starting water has ammonia that is showing in the test. Can you use distilled water or spring water?
The test kit I am using is the API Freshwater master kit. Yes, I have put salt in the water too.
