Use the same dechlorinated water you would provide for the animal. Inconsistent water quality changes how the material hydrates and performs.
Dissolved minerals reduce absorption and can leave residue as the gel dries. If your water is hard, expect lower water uptake.
Medications and additives should be administered as directed for the animal, not mixed into the substrate unless specifically advised by a veterinarian.
Hydrate with water at room temperature. Very cold or hot water changes swelling behaviour and can affect how evenly the material hydrates.
