Yes, you are. Until the point that the tap water in the bowl itself grows mold and spreads spores. You're putting a bowl of water, a good breeding ground, in a closed, usually dark environment with high humidity. If you leave it in there for any length of time, it will grow mold.

Distilled is used in humidification devises not only because of the minerals but also because of the smells that may be in tap water.

I was gonna mention this too, I'd be worried about the chlorine odor.

I wouldnt. it will take a VERY long time for the beads to charge that way anyway. Just go to the supermarket and get a gallon of distilled water, its only like 2 bucks. I have only had to buy one in the last 4 years. So far as I know it doesnt get contaminated if you never put anything IN the bottle, just pour into another medium, I use a spray bottle to douche my beads.

Damn Jiggs, when you put it that way it kind of loses the appeal..
