Question about LCs

I was wondering if it is necessary to use distilled water when making LCs with the intent of using them for culture storage. I have been making all my LCs with tap water and haven't had any problems so far, but I just got a bunch of vacutainers and am planning to store my cultures in them using the distilled water technique. I am going to fill them up with LC, then once the mycelium has sunk to the bottom of the tube suck the honey water out and replace it with distilled water. Will it matter that the last little bit of LC was made with tap water?

if you boil/sterilize tap water using it would be just fine.
i wouldnt replace water in your vactionaters with just plain distilled water. i would boil it let it cool and then use it
