tap water, been a mechanic for 18 years and its all i have ever put in, but being in scotland we have softer water dont know if that makes any difference. just put in the cheapest possible bottled water and it will be just fine

tap water and antifreez/coolant no need for anything else

For RX7 I would say use de-ionised water!  you only need 1 5 liter of green antifreeze and 1 5 liter of water.....cheap as chips!

De-mineralised, de-oinised (both the same just different names) and distilled water are effectively the same, the minerals and salts have been removed, but they use different processes to remove the minerals and salts.

If you want to use tap water, have a look in your kettle, if you have lime scale deposits, don\'t bother, if you don\'t have lime scale it could be ok to use tap water.  But why bother when the proper water is so cheap.  Mineral waters generally have high mineral content and should not be used.

You pay the money you choose

Why not boil the kettle let it cool and use that its the same as mineral water where its been boiled, i personally have always put tap water and antifreeze in all my cars
