Distilled water?

Does the water you mix with coolant absolutely have to be distilled? It's late and I have my gas tank off. Supermarket is all out. I have coolant but no distilled water. Can I use regular filtered water? I also found nursery (baby) water which is vapor distilled but has flouride added.

Suggestions would be awesome.

yes, use distilled water - non distilled contains minerals which will result in sludge formation
