Thanks for the suggestions all. What I am really after is whether or not tannic acid is toxic to orchids? Would putting the water through a Brita type filter remove enough of the acid? Short of melting snow or buying water (would much rather put the $ into plants!), this is my best source for 'pure' water. Perhaps my tap water left to sit would be the best alternative, even though it is very hard and the ph needs to be lowered. I am aiming for a ph in the water of about 6. Is that the right goal? 
Thanks again
Sharon
