Adding H2O2 to water?

Anyone has experience with adding H2O2 to their water spray bottle?
I'm planning to better my water quality: First i will boil the tap water (to rid chlorine) and add hydrogen peroxide. H2O2 appears to not harm mycelium and might clean the water even more.
Will it rock or poison?

Nah I only use it when I’m running an automated setup. You are fine without adding any if you are spraying your tubs. I use tap water. When it’s fruiting time nothing is sterile so if the culture is clean it won’t matter much if you use plain tap.

By the time you're misting, what's important is that your grains are high quality.
H2O2 is unstable and is a highly reactive oxidizing agent. It reacts as soon as it comes in contact with organic matter and it also just decomposed quickly aside from that. This means it will do very little, especially beyond the top of the surface of your sub.
If you don't have good grains the contams will be lurking below the surface either way.

You can make a chlorine solution if you have a bacteria problem on your mushrooms but h2o2 does nothing. What are you trying to do with the spray anyway?

Are you then distilling the tap water? Chlorine stays dissolved in the water until it steams up and gets collected.
If I am wrong about that, someone correct me, but one thing I know for sure is that there is chloramine in the tap water and that never evaporates.

Okay thanks.
Frankly my question was also related to the fact, that i got a substantial quantity of H2O2 and was looking for a use. I heared it was used for cleaning the inside of a container, so the oxidizing wouldn't be a problem as the work will be done.
I am not distilling the tap water, just boiling it. I heared on multiple occasions, that that can remove the chlorine in the water (which my tap water has alot). But i couldnt have misunderstood or it is an urban legend.
