That depends upon its chemical make up. Some minerals found in spring water could make the water unfit for aquatic life. My advice is to do a complete water test. In some fish, the water has to be the right consistency and temperature for the fish to survive longer, I suggest asking an expert at a pet or aquatic shop for the best results.
Some people do not believe it but the best water to use in your betta fish tank is tap water. Bottled and distilled water has been "purified" and does not have the minerals that your Betta fish needs. If your tap water is so bad that you do not even drink it, than use spring water.
Salt Water Fish
Assuming the dirty fish tank has had fish and water in it, without doing various specialised water tests it is impossible to tell what is in it.
It might be unsafe to drink because fish food, fish scales, fish waste, and many different kinds of bacteria are in fish tank water.
To change the water in a fish tank effectively, follow these steps: Use a siphon to remove about 25-30 of the water from the tank. Use a water conditioner to treat the new water before adding it to the tank. Gently pour the treated water back into the tank to avoid stressing the fish. Repeat this process regularly to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your fish.

The fish may be missing from the tank due to factors such as illness, water quality issues, predators, or the fish jumping out of the tank.
The white scale on the inside of the fish tank is from a buildup of minerals that were in the water.
To do a full water change in a fish tank, first, unplug any electrical equipment. Remove the fish and place them in a separate container with some of the old tank water. Drain all the water from the tank. Clean the tank and decorations with warm water, avoiding soap or chemicals. Refill the tank with dechlorinated water at the same temperature as the old water. Acclimate the fish back to the tank by gradually adding some of the new water to their container before releasing them. Plug in the equipment and monitor the water parameters to ensure the fish's health.
