What type of water can you put in a hermit crab cage?

You should put distilled water and and sea salt water in your crab's tank. It shouldn't be deep enough for the crab to submerge itself in, but they have to be able to get out or they can drown. Hermit crabs need distilled water because the clorine in tap water burns their modified gills and sofacates them, same with table salt. use SEA salt.
