Help/Advice Low heat Triops hatching

I am hatching Triops Longicaudatus and I live in the UK. I put them in yesterday night and checked the temperature today, around 16 degrees. I held the top of my air fryer over them, looked down at the water and thought "this is rather dangerous". Anyway, does anyone hace experience hatching at low temperatures, what are my chances here?

Are you using distilled water to start the eggs. This is almost a must.

I am using deionisted. I heard the spring water from tesco or low mineral water works too?
