The salts, chlorides, and metals that are in your tap water will definitely do some damage to your radiator,seals, hoses etc.

Make sure it is RO/DI water(which they don't sell too often at the supermarket anymore)/ Don't use "RO water", "purified water", "distilled" water or bottled drinking water. It has to be RO/DI water-there's a difference.

Go to a saltwater fish store with a 5 gallon bucket, they make and sell RO/DI water. It costs <$2.00 to fill a 5 gallon container.
And if you trust their RO system you're crazy brother. We make RO water at work and it takes like 10 gallons of purging to get the quality we want, and we get 1:9 ratio of clean water to waste thereafter. (We get 1 liter of clean water and 9 goes down the drain.)
