This brings up a point that needs discussion.
In my original searches on the net for CS, I think it was perhaps Bob
Becks papers that talked about making useful CS with no mention of
distilled water being necessary.
The question being, how UNsafe,really, is CS made with potable tap
water?
Personally, I wouldn't have any qualms using it, but what the heck,
I'm a guy.

You are correct Chuck.
Originally Beck told everyone to just make it. I watched him make cs with
plain bottled water, coffee and I think once with orange juice. He is the
one that taught how to make cs by adding salt.
What does all this have to with Karen's question? A lot.
As an example, after I learned from Beck, I built a simple cs maker for
myself and another one for my mother. I taught her how to make cs, like I
made it then, with salt added. I didn't know about making it without salt as
I do now. Anyhow, I later told her she should stop using salt and to use
distilled water. Well, mom is 74 years old and does not like to change
anything that works. So still today she makes cs for herself, my brother and
sister using filtered water and a drop of salt water. They have been using
it for years that way and no one has had any problems and it seem to work
just as good as the cs I make.
Sometimes I wonder if we haven't made making cs overly complicated in our
attempt to improve on something that I don't think we really know much about
in the first place.
Karen, to answer to your question, like Chuck I would not have a single worry
about using cs made with plain water. But, I would let it set for at least
half an hour and then shake it and let it stand again, after I made it so the
cs could have a chance to kill off the critters in that water.
