If you are grabbing water from the coast to put in your tank you will probably run into trouble before too long. Along the coast is where all the pollutant is in the ocean from man, oil run off from parking lots, people fertilize their yards...etc. If you want to use NSW then I would be getting it a couple miles out if possible.
R/O water is the way to go with top off!
