I have been using Western Family Spring water for 2 grows now and I don't even bother with checking the PH anymore because it is always spot on

No need for any PH stuff

I would say that you should be ok. Just to be sure about the chlorine I would let the water sit with the top off for at least 24 hours. You probably don't have to worry about the chlorine but if you can let it sit, let it.

Read the label on the bottle. It will tell you if there is chlorine in it.You should always check your PH before using the water. If checked PH of bottled water that I bought at costco and it was over 8...if the PH is too high, you can use a little vinegar in it to bring it down if you don't have PH down.But always check the PH of your water before you use it if you've never used that source before.All water is not the same.

i have well water and i have ~170ppm natural in the water before i start messing with it and a ph of 7.3-7.9, i run my water through a small boi hydrologic system and it brings it up to ~210ppm, just when feeding make sure u dont go over 1000ppm with nutes

also letting normal sink water sit fora day or 2 is alright as well

It'll be fine. Just give it two weeks of straight water after the flush and your buds will be juicy sweet.
