thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to buy an on faucet brita filter. Seemed to bring my friend's water down a couple hundred ppm. Going to let the water sit overnight to get rid of the chlorine. The fish aquarium water conditioner is definitely NOT what I want as all it does is make the toxins clump together so they can be removed by the fish filter. Plus it isn't organic and will mess up my 100% organic label. I will let you all know my PPM readings after the brita filter
