It will be fine many of the wfp system builders test them out with tap water. Just empty all the tap water after testing.

Yes it will not be noticeable when you have a full tank of pure,

and anyway , the systems are not set up just for pure water,

pumps are used for caravan showers and various other things,

water is water.
