What kind of water should I use for my triops?

Hey, I haven’t kept triops in a while and we used to buy distilled water but I was wondering if we could get around that. We have guppies so we have plenty of tap water conditioner if that will work and we also have brita filter pitchers and our fridge has a filtered water dispenser in the door. Will any of these work? It’s not a huge deal if they won’t, I’m just hoping for an alternative to going to the store a bunch and BUYING water.
how do i chlorinate water in the way that you mean?

What type of plants would my triops eat?

A strange thing hatched in my Triops kit?

I bought this triops kit from a website, and weird things hatched in it. Only one of them appears to be a triops, and about 5 weird shrimp things hatched too. Are they shrimp? They’re actually kind of cute and they do cool flips, so I’m not upset about that packaging mistake. But there’s also this strange, creepy looking thing, that’s very small, white, and a bit translucent, but it’s still visible. I have no idea what it is. It has the body shape of an owl, and it has little black eyes on each side of it’s upper half. It also has what appears to be antlers, shaped like little Ys on its head, and the fan part of the Y is webbed. It doesn’t glide about the water like the others; it sort of hops about in the fishbowl. It kinda looks like a pokemon >:L What is it?

is there anything similar to triops?

see my brother got some triops for his birthday and they are really cool and i was just wondering if there is some kind of pet kinda similar to that. like i know that there is those sea monkeys but i dont like those they look ugly so if there is anything u can think of that would be great.

would a small heater be okay for Triops?

I know you need to keep the water kind of warm, but most of the instructions I’ve found say leave a lamp on 24 hours. Since I do plan to sleep at some point, I am wondering if a small heater would be okay, or would it make the water too warm.
