I guess I'm old fashioned. I store my water for WC's in heavy duty one gallon plastic jugs.
When I fill the jugs, I use 8 drops of prime
per gallon and store the jugs in the computer room.
I have 28 total. I run hot water into the bathtub and put in the amount of jugs required and match the temp.
Then I gravel vac the tanks.
My largest tank is 46 gallons with 6 DD black super veil tail angels and they are happy. I keep they water quality up.
I know some folks don't like to lug the water around.
I've always been skeptical about using
water from the tap after treating the tank with dechlorinator. The temp is hard to match that way and I wouldn't feel safe that the chlorinator worked on all the water.
BTW - The exercize is good for me.

Might want to not use the bathtub for water changes. Soap/bath chemicals can easily kill fish.

I try match my water to tank water temperatures. Sometimes I lower the temperature a little to simulate the temperature drop after rain. I'm lucky to have well water so I don't need to dechlorinate.

The water is in plastic jugs and the hot water surounds them to warm the water meant for the aquarium.
