If your talking using it for fermenting you don't need to stress to much, it's nothing like beer fermenting thank God!. For diluting your final product it might work ok, some town water turns it cloudy.

+1!

Brita filter may work well for diluting.

if your water contains chlorine instead of chloramine you can use hydrogen peroxide to remove chlorine or just let it sit for 24-48 hours. I don't worry too much about chlorine when fermenting for distilling, different story for beers though.
