I'm moving to a country without safe drinking water. Do I need to use bottled water in my sous vide machine, or can I just use the unsafe tap water (and if so, should I boil it first?)?

I just sous vided a steak for 72 hours at 52.5C/126.5F, except it didn't seem to work out very well. Instead of tasting like a delicious soft juicy steak (like it did when I cooked it for 6 hours at 52.5C) it tasted a lot more like my steak that I did for 24 hours at 62C/143F. That is, much more like a potroast.

Any idea as to what happened? Where did I go wrong in creating this supposed juicy tender dripping-with-juiciness/blood 72 hour steak? I didn't do anything to the steak (i.e. salt, brine, sear) before sous-viding. I just threw it straight into the water bath and left it for 3 days...

Norwegian mørbrad, which from http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storfekj%F8tt seems to correspond to American sirloin and British rump steak.
