:smile: In my "youth" I used to fill the injection tanks on Super Connies" with water , It was distilled only and mixed with methanol. In more recent times I was involved with aircraft engine washing for reduction of sea salt on gas turbines. We used demineralized water with a solids content below 56-60 Parts Per Million (PPM) . The major concern seemed to be a build up of mineral deposit on the compressor blades. Hope this is some help.
I will use the cleanest water I can get in my (future) installation , posibly a Reverse Osmosis system for about $150 is a good way to go. I understand that you can buy deionized water from outfits such as Culligan fairly cheaply if you go to their plant and haul it yourself (this is what auto detailers frequently do in Arizona where the water is really packed with minerals).
