good catch vin
besides.. if you age your water, it will retire and move to florida.
And cause the cost of living to increase......

As for aging water, I keep a gallon of water filled up an on the kitchen counter. I use it to top off if in between water changes if needed....I haven't had a problem with it...But then again I use it so infrequently. I treat my replacement water though, just to be safe.
i don't know about there, but here a lot of places add chloromines to the water in addition to the chlorine and ages won't dissipate the chloromines like chlorine, so i treat all the water we put in or even use to clean stuff.
