Can you calculate the volume of water required and fill a bucket with that amount of tap water and then add the correct amount of tap safe.

no need to buy water. if you are worried about how much to use (tap safe), just dose the whole tank volume. but its, far, less complicated than that! top up during water changes. it cant be too hard to work out how much you need, that way.

sorry, i have no experience of these fish.

The black widows and the guppies are not playing. The guppies are really serious. In an established tank, things like a water change take into account the effects of doing a water change while everyone else thinks in terms of individual fish profiles.
