I replaced my water pump over the winter. Not knowing any better I used tap instead of distilled water when adding back what I lost from draining from the manifold drain plug. Likely added 2 gallons of water plus 2 gallons of coolant. Is this something I need to worry about now or can I just swap out next winter. I will put about 2.5k on it in that time.
Thanks.
