well, ideally you should use distilled, but it won't matter that much. Just don't fill it with untreated lake water, and you'll be fine.

so you don't bother getting a proper mix?
You should at least try to get 50% water. The water will transfer heat better, and the coolant will help with corrosion and lower freezing point.
