I like using distilled, but would not even hesitate to use regular tap water if I knew it was only going to be for awhile.
Heck, in the old days we ONLY used tap water and NEVER had any trouble as long as we did all the other stuff. Maintaining the system isn't that hard to keep clean over the long haul. But some areas have harder water than others, so that's probably a thing to be aware of.
If you can get distilled, great. If it's a hassle, throw regular in there to fire it up and then flush it out with new when it's all tested and ready to roll.
