    Perfomance wise? AFAIK, the performance only drops because you add more things to it. (be it it zerex, pentosin, uv glow, anti-freeze) but the difference is neglible.

    I've been test running on 100% distilled for 3 months, no growth, water is clear. but my tubing started clouding. but that's not something new...
