If you use tap water, you don't know what you're making. If anything 'can' happen in a charged ionic environment, it will. If I use my well water, even with current control, it makes blue grey crud. There's lots of iron in my well water..and who knows what else. Copper in the water will make blue grey crud even without the silver.
"Distilled" water is not always all that good. Tap water is generally so far beyond being bad as to be totally less than useless for making decent CS in 'any way' that it can be made.
