I found this link on Amazon but not sure if it's safe/too much for the water... https://www.amazon.com/Seachem-116044608-Equilibrium-300gram/dp/B0002A5WQA/ref=sr_1_2?camp=1789&creative=9325&keywords=000116044608&linkCode=ur2&qid=1557530866&s=gateway&sr=8-2
Snails need harder water with enough mineral content to build their shells. Soft water will leach minerals away from their shells, eventually creating holes.
I use Salty Shrimp, but it's kind of expensive and not really necessary. There are other ways to harden your water. A cheaper product is Seachem Equilibrium, but I've never used it myself.
My tap water is really soft like yours, it has about 2 degrees of hardness while the ideal hardness is more like 5-8 degrees.
I also feed my shrimp an invertebrate food that contains calcium for shell formation. The snails go for it too, which probably helps them out.
