Not something I worry about anymore. Besides having many radiators to fill, I've got a $3000 battery bank that's hooked to my house's electrical system. I used to buy "distilled" water for all, but gave it up and figure it's not worth the cost.
Think about it. Even if you've got water with high iron and other minerals e.g. copper,lead, arsenic, etc. - the amount of those solids in a few gallons of water isn't enough to choke a baby flea.
Also . . . what irks me a little is that several brands of bottle water sold as "distilled" are not distilled at all. Just filtered. Last time I bought all new batteries for my battery bank ($600 each) I checked around. Finding water sold as "distilled" that was actually distilled turned into a big research project.
In the USA, it is allowed to call water "distilled" when it's not, and just as legal to call motor oil "synthetic" when it's not. Gets to a point where I now suspect near everything.
Radiators in cooling systems probably suffer a lot more from "solder bloom" then the trace minerals in the water used.
