many go the extra step and use distilled water.

...not to change the subject, it's sorta relevant...

what might be the adverse effects on using NOT distilled?
I'm thinkin' of using distilled next flush/fill, bcuz I've noticed what appears to be some kinda "salt" floating around in the reservoir. I filtered it through a coffee filter, and when dry, it's like grayish talcum powder. Wonder if this is something precipitating from the well water (with water softener), of if it's like Alum Oxide from the aluminum of the head ?

Anybody else seen this ? p.s. I'm running 50/50 ...

C/YA!
