New from Chicagoland area

I will be introducing 2 new axolotls to the family soon. I am pretty confident that I have everything set up properly, but I have a question about using well water. We are on a well system and we add Morton's salt (green rust-reducer bags) to the water softener. Is it ok to use our well water or should I use bottled/city water? Thanks for your help and I'm excited about this new venture!

Well water is fine. If you have a bypass to your water softener, I always mixed mine 2:1, softened water to bypassed water. I never had a problem. City water is often chlorinated, and needs to be treated to remove the chlorine. Bottled water is often distilled, and can lead to ion loss. Go with the well water.
