Annie,
When you consider the miniscule amount of water in your coolant system, it really doesn't matter whether you use hard, soft or distilled water. But it is worth remembering that those engines which relied on water to work, and that's steam-engines, the companies using them spent big money on ensuring that the engines drank only distilled water. In view of their vastly greater knowledge, I also use only distilled water on the grounds that you can't be too careful.
Just my thoughts.
Oh, I also use a 50/50 mix of the correct anti-freeze (ethylene-glycol based)and top-up with a pre-mixed quantity of the same concentration, never just water or just anti-freeze. And I live in Hong Kong where it NEVER freezes!!
