Any mains tap water in the so called civilized world has impurities in 
it e.g. some form of disinfectant, mainly some kind of chloride compound 
I believe. Often fluoride is added as well and the water is made 
"harder" for health reasons by the water authorities. Have a look in 
your wifes steam iron, the coffee machine or the water boiler. 
These sediments react with the iron, brass and aluminium present in your 
engines and cooling systems and cause havoc in the long run. 
We have a lot of USA imports (classics) over here from the sunny 
states. Many rust free cars but practically all radiators are scrap as 
they are silted up because of the use of plain tap water. You hardly see 
that on cars that have been driving around in northern and middle Europe 
bar Great Britain and Ireland.
