I did read once though that the real hazard of tap water is that it is good

Myth, tap water that is good enough for human consumption has less
nutrients in it than pond water. I believe Norm Meck talks about such in
one of his articles at:

Perhaps the "Green Water" one or Water Change Outs.

If it appears one is getting an algae bloom after a water change out, it is
because they are changing out too much at one time. ~ jan
