Watering with with sparkling spring water isn't a bad idea, but not for the Co2. If you get fungus gnats the fizzy water around the roots really fucking annoys them. Line the edge of the pots with strips of yellow sticky trap and apply the sparkling water, it drives any adult gnats, on or in the surface of the soil, to rapidly launch into flight and on to the waiting sticky traps. Do that a couple of times and then apply nematodes to deal with that larvae and you no longer have a fungus gnat problem.

Also if you have very soft water, like me, a little extra calcium doesn't hurt.

But the idea that it increases Co2 around the plant and therefor yield is utter bollocks.
Yeah same waters soft as hell up here as well always need to give some form of calmag agreed tho the increase yield bits bs i aint saying cant be useful i imagine it would piss fungus gnats off ive never had em in bloom always managed to spot/deal with em in veg the odd time they come in compost or whatever i usually kill em with a quick dunk in a ice water bath myself plants always bounce back fine and seems to work good

I'm cold natured. I'm usually wearing sweats and a hoodie in my place while the air is on in the summer
I feel you. Worked in a cold store for 8 years. Used to work on the chiller (37f) in work pants and a short sleeved shirt and steam off the top of my head as soon as I'd start moving boxes.
