I guess it depends on the water supply. Here in San Antonio, for example,
all of our water comes from an underground aquifer. The material that
holds all that water in is limestone which dissolves in water quite
easily. It's great for leaving deposits and water spots. Even though I
have a water softner that supposedly removes most of the limestone, I
still only use distilled water in the battery and radiator.
