What type of water makes plants grow bigger tap or drinking?

Tap and drinking water normally has chlorine in it to reduce the bacterial count in the water. This could effect the growth of the plant, but normally the concetration of chlorine (in the water) is very low - far below the toxic level to plants. Drinking/ bottled water normally has less salts in it than regular tap water. Both have very minimal amounts of nutrients in them, which would ultimatley lead to nutrient defciencies if the plants were only grown in it.
