hmmmmm, boiled water, theoretically, would be safe. I'm paranoid though, I would end up getting some bottled water or something.

Boiled water should be fine. Just make sure it is cooled down before you add it to the tank! LOL!

Just what I was going to say

However, I don't think boiling does anything for the turbidity (I know it was really high after the storm), it just kills the "nasties". So it might take the filter a while to make the water clear.
