Are my gel beads ruined if I used tap water once?

They come pre filled with a propyl solution. All you do is add distilled water. Tap water is fine once or twice, but if you use it a lot, your gel will turn a weird nasty green color. It really looks gross lol. Not sure why the shop owner would refill it with a propyl solution, that makes no sense and isn't the correct way to fill them. But either way, probably not ruined, yet.
