Thanks for all your replies - The tank is only a 55 gal so it shouldn't be too bad lugging bottled water. Long term I would set up RO/DI but because we are only renting the place I don't want to go to that extent yet. There is an automatic water softner installed and I am not sure what chemicals the landlord puts in but there is a strong smell of iron/metal from the water! I guess I will buy some water and test it - and treat with prime if there is ammonia or nitrates?
Thanks again,
Brian
