    Tap water will inevitably have some mineral content and the minerals can be deposited on internal surfaces making heat transfer less efficient.

    RV antifreeze is fine. In fact it is better than deioinised water on its own.

    Thanks...
    I thought it would be safe to use, since it is safe in RV lines. We did add a small amount of filtered water to mix it.

    It appears to be working fine so far.
