Not if you run distilled.
I've heard mixed opinions on whether or not you need to run distilled if you are running zero antifreeze, as apparently the minerals in the water mostly affect the antifreeze itself, causing it to goop up and exacerbate sediment formation.
I'll admit, I'm running hose water. If I put a thousand miles on the car this year, I'll be surprised, so I'm really not worried about it. I'll be dumping the coolant regularly enough that it won't be a big deal, I'm fairly sure.
