Lightbulb Overnight tape water danger or not??

Recently, i was reading some article saying that we can use 自来水 or tape water(if i am not mistakenly translate) which had been put overnight to water CP plant, does this true??
If this really true, what happen to the chemical compound in the water? Had it been oxidized and become not harmful to the CP or it decompose into another matter which will not harm the plant?

OOhhh....then may i ask of the medium that all of you used for your CP?
Most of the CP of mine, i plant them using 100% of Sphagnum Moss

For sarracenia, I use Sphagnum Moss as well. Sometime, add in some perlite.

For nepenthes, I use coco-peat or spagnum moss + perlite. Depends on sp. and depends on how frequence you water them

Most of Drosera, I use spagnum moss + perlite. Pgymy, spagnum peat moss + perlite + sand, or chopped spagnum moss + perlite + sand.

How about if i use 100% of Sphagnum Moss for Drosera? Will they rot? I never managed to find any perlite but can i used the Yellow rock that usually can be found around mountain area?

For nepenthes I water with Tap water quite often, specially nowadays when we are having very dry summer. I think better to use tap water than no water at all. But also I have a big drum that I store tap water in to "age" it to allow chlorine to evaporate, just like if you are keeping fish. But as it is quite dry and hot, evaporation is so fast that I used up aged water quite fast, so I use tap water so far no problems, been doing this around 2 years already. I do not live in Malaysia though, but as Casey said her Tap water is okay as well.

TTFN
