I don't know about when that artical waswritten but there are currently products, including reptile specific ones, which specifically remove/neutralize chloramines as well as the more standard contaminants.
"Spring" water if it actually comes out of a standard natural spring and has no contamination in between would be safest and fit the above description. Unfortunately regulation on bottled water, even if labled spring water, is so loose that most studies have found higher contaminant levels in bottled water then in tap water(in US, dunno about foriegn standards). Among other things causing this is that, last I heard, none of the spring water companies were 100% from the mouth of the spring so you ended up getting lots of contaminant exposure from air, surface soil, and animals.
Anyways just do your research for whatever water you are looking at using so you know the risks and do not use distilled.
