i have always used tap water,because i believe that any chlorine will be masked by the groundbaits smell and attracters,and will dissapate once in the lake.

I always thought that tap water was a no no for groundbait…
ive just realised that for 4 years now ive been using tap water for my expanders. i catch a few so i guess not but used in larger quantities who knows???

wheres carp magic? bet hes got an answer..

I just use evian,.BODGE -i catch a few, lol.

thought you would like that one old son lol…

evian — you ponce!!

Bodge i read somewhere that if you mix your g/bait the night before it makes no differance.

i do know that if you leave tapwater standing overnight, by the morning it will be fine. and thats from mr f,blues himself..

Ialways use tap water for pellets & groundbait,i dont think it matters.

I dont think fish minda bit of chlorine look at all the other chemical additives anglers use,I do firmly believe though if you dont have faith in something then dont do it. Years ago when people first started fishing corn in winter i never had faith in this method and to this day i cannot catch on corn in winter !

what does a dog prefer (tap water or ditch water )the latter in most cases so why not take a bottle of water from your fishery when you leave problem sorted.

I do not believe that it makes one iota of difference providing you are making your groundbaits up in advance the previous evening.
However if you have any doubt then boil your water, allow it to cool and then mix your groundbaits. The chlorine will have been driven off.

just put some tap water in a bucket for 24 hours still/no movement and it takes all the chlorine out
