Mixing [distilled] water with coolant

Okay, quick question. I have a really good reverse osmosis water filter system. Will that water be good for mixing down the anti-freeze? Or do I really need to get distilled water?

I've used RO water with my car and haven't seen any problems.

Most people use regular tap water, so your water should be at least that good. Distilled is better. Even better is de-ionized water.

I believe RO water is about as peer as can be.. I know it takes something like 10 gallons of tap water to make 1 gallon of RO water...this is because its soo refined/purrified. I dont see it being any problem to use.
