I have been using tap for 7+ years with no problems but this fall when I tore down and rebuilt the tank into a FOWLR I started with tap water and cycled on tape water and then changed all my top ups and water changes with RO/DI. I do not have storage for the water I just make it couple evenings a week for top up when I get ahead I do a water change. I didn't have enough on tap to do big water changes thats why I used tap water.

something is feeding the cyanoto make it reproduce so fast maybe something from the transfer or something died.... since its a fish only id just keep battling it with water changes,and flow the usual and my little trick i tell everyone and they all seem to love it is take a pantyhose over a cup use a turkey baster to suck up mats of cyano and empty it into the pantyhose once your done you have a sock full of cyano and your down no water. i keep that stuff right next to the tank so i can suck it up as soon as it appears again
 when ever my snails reproduced i would get little outbreaks of cyano and that was how i knew they were mating, at first they are so small i cant see them but the signs are there and with in days they are view able

possible for sure anythings possible but i could make theorys about everything like that then id trust nothing or no one...but im not saying tap water is better .... if he believes that tap water caused a mini crash in his tank while there could be other issues its worth investigating.
rough luck with the tanks buddy for sure this year i hope it gets sorted out for you soon
