Always good to add distilled water. If you add straight coolant or even 50/50 you will increase the ratio of coolant:water.

Just be mindful of potential freezing points in the future

They use de ionized water to cool reactors Iirc. Got a friend that works on a nuke sub, still hasnt got me none tho. Kinda hard to come by.

Distilled is good enough for me.
