According to your other post about using tap water, all Fibergeek's responses won't apply. Tap water will interfere (at a minimum) or prevent anodization depending on its chemical makeup. If you think about common chemicals found in tap water, such as chlorine, flouride, iron, copper, lead, tin, arsenic, selenium, etc., you can see why it would cause problems. Even small amounts of these chemicals will affect anodizing and dyeing. Tap water should never be used when anodizing.
