your LFS guy is just trying to sell you stuff again. I'm not familiar with that particular brand, but Petco sells "Catalina water" which is NSW taken from southern California. They're high priced, and it's not as good as advertised. IMO, you'd be better advised to buy water from the machines at your grocery store, a local "water store" or even Wal-Mart, and mix your own, than to buy the stuff they want to sell you, and IME, doing 10-25% weekly changes, is one of the BEST things you can do for your tank.
REMEMBER...Dilution is the Solution to Pollution...
