We have clorinated city water here. Probably florinated too. But at least it's not ironated like I had in Arkansas. I bought water to use in my darkroom because of the iron and sulfer/iron ore water we had.
Bummer about the Hyperwet. But I'm pretty sure I've seen it elsewhere, anyway. It's not like it's a *huge* difference from Photo-flo, just that much nicer in my experience.

As for your water and such, I like to use the cheap bottled distilled water for mixing my chemicals, in most places, especially since sometimes the mixed stuff ends up stretching the shelf life lately while I try to get up to speed on digital: no need to have any extra contaminants from your pipes sitting in the bottles all that time, at least.

Doesn't hurt to have some bottled water around, anyway. I just occasionally toss a couple of those on the shopping cart.
