All I use is tap water. I started out just like you, filling up 7 gallon containers got old real quick. Tap water has minerals anyways, so its a plus!

I have a water softener, which flows through a carbon filter prior to coming into the house, and I use my tap water which has a pH of 7.8.

I got some generic liquid Down, add 1TBS to six gallons of water and my pH is stable @ 5.9pH.

I too was lugging distilled jugs for the 1st two weeks until I talked with my local hydro shop. And my plants are almost doubling in size everyday using my water soften tap water.

Good luck!!
