Note:

Many people have asked why I would use tap water (or water from a garden hose) when the service manual (and good sense) dictate the use of distilled water only to prevent corrosion. I only use tap water to flush the system, but always use distilled water and Water Wetter when refilling. When flushing, you need some decent pressure and a lot of water, so using distilled water for this purpose just isn't practical.
