Best Answer

Tap water contains chlorine to ensure no bacteria in the available drinking water source. Chlorine is also used in pools for the same reason. The disadvantage of having chlorine in our drinking water is that if we use it to water plants, it does about as much harm as good. The same rule applies to drinking that same water, as chlorine in the stomach causes acid reflux and erosive esophigitis as the chlorine becomes chlorine gas and is unhealthy. The best thing you can do is filter tap water by way of a charcoal filtering system.

How many times should the beta water be changed?

Every two days the water should be changed. Otherwise, a filter will have to be installed. Chlorine neutralizing drops (one drop per fish bowl) should be administered to maintain a healthy balance of the water's nutrients and to fully simulate fresh water. Distilled water could also be used which will allow the water to be cleaner for a few days more than dechlorinated tap water.
