Water Wetter *says* that they have the full complement of corrosion inhibitors and lubrication for the water pump. You can sometimes also find the additive package as a standalone, but I can't remember the name of the product.
I know someone who tested for them and used pure water and water wetter. He did go through a radiator or two while they were perfecting the product, and I believe that it is safe now. If you are nervous, use 20%-30% antifreeze and you should be covered.
