    Does distilled water do the job?

    Distilled should work fine.

    Yes, distilled will be fine. The only major difference between the purity of RO/DI and distilled is how its produced. Both are pure water. Distilled is boiled and the steam is condensed back to water. RO/DI is done through a membrane and DI resin.
