Distilling is but one way to remove ions, so yes, De-Ionized water will work fine..if it's done well. That's what most people in Europe and Australia use as , for some unknown reason, distilled water is a rarity, where in N America it's as common as the mud it makes when mixed with dirt.
Reverse osmosis filtering "can" do a decent job, but it's sorta iffy.
 Distillation has it's moments too, just not as often.

Weird, but as dry as parts of Australia are, no one sells humidifiers and as wet and tropical as some parts are for a year round growing season...canning jars are collectors items.
Go figger!

I've just recently started making my own CS and have read on some sites where people heat their water first in order to speed along the process.

Is this considered OK to do? Any downside to doing it?

Thanks,
Shannah

Sol -- maybe I mis-read this, but I understood it to say that CS does not harm the friendly bacteria -- and gives the reason (because CS decomposes enzymes required by anaerobic bacteria, which are the unfriendly bacteria). Did I get this wrong?
In my opinion, anerobic bacteria are not universally the "unfriendly" bacteria nor are aerobic bacteria the "friendly bacteria" as I have read that pathogens are found in both groups of bacteria. Just as not all gram negative bacteria are pathogens, nor are all gram postiive ones "friendly". I may be misnaiming these groups...... Silver so far as I have read kills ALL bacteria, period, no matter their type or species, though some are harder to kill than others.
I have to date read nothing I consider credible that has changed my belief.
