Default Finally got water to work, temporarily :p

Hey,
I gave water a go for the 2nd time over Christmas, since i received some new stuff, including an EX58-UD5 with waterblocks, no heatsink, so i didn't really have a choice.
Here my loop (will ad pictures later)
EK DCP 4 >> MCR320 >> EK UD5 NB block >> EK HF >> EK UD5 mosfet block >> XSPC bay res
After some leak issues, finally sorted it all out
Am currently folding at 4.2 @ 1.28v, temps are around 70 on cpu, 60 on NB.
Want to get them lower obviously.
However, i used tapwater, which apparently is a big no no
So, am having to redo my loop...
Which isn't a bad thing I suppose, means I can use standard tubing (at the moment, am using varying colours, brands and sizes )
And while I'm at it possibly get new fans for my rad, am currently using a ZM-F3, Scythe S Flex 1600rpm, Thermalright 1600rpm.
Just wondering, what would you guys recommend to get the temps down?
Will be running distilled water probably, with maybe a bit of pt nuke or something similar (quite a few guys on BTUK have reported no problems just running straight tapwater which has confused me no end)
Thanks
