Never give/spray your hermit crab with tap water. It constricts their gills and WILL kill them. Use bottled or distilled water, you can also buy hermit crab water conditioner at your local pet store for about 3 dollars. It will give instructions on how much to put into the tap. Salt water is mostly for soaking, so just put some in a shallow bowl in your crabitat, as well as fresh water, and make sure that its shallow enough so the smallest crab won't drown but the biggest crab soak in it. Hope that helps! :)
