If me, i will do 30% water change 2 times within 4 hours. So, part is yr maid mistake and part is yours.
It is aged water, from a large water container. This container is filled by tanki water also. It is therefore, tanki water -> added anti-clorine and pH adjusted -> aged somemore... (I super kiasu on this )

It was until a day ago, the container have no more water due to excessive amount of water being used in the emergency. Now it is from tanki with anti-clorine while a new batch of aging water takes place.

Water change is almost dripping method controlled by a timer and pump. It is automatic.
