Any water conditioner you use for fish aquariums should be safe. Reptisafe has a good reputation, though most turtle-specific products carry a premium.

I've been using something similar with no problems so far. I would agree that just because it says "for turtle" would probably just mean "for profit". The overall use of it is to reverse or neutralize the effects of the chlorine and other chemicals are in tap water. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Maybe the Turtle kind has some Turtle Wax in it for a shinnier shell! j/k

If you buy in bulk ReptiSafe is pretty cheap...
