I missed the "non" in the "non-ro/di", sorry, in that case my answer would be NO too. No need to put back what you're trying to get rid off.

I would also say it would be best to use RO/DI.

I'd be equally concerned about chlorine or chloramines in tap water killing off the bacteria (and all the other little critters) I'm trying to encourage to grow.
