Thats his Sig, ie what's in his system.
One bottle should be fine but having one for topping up couldn't harm matters

If you've got a Dual Bay Res then your prolly looking at 2 bottles, if you've only got a single bay res or similar, you can probably get away with a single bottle.
I'm currently running 2 Blocks, 2 Rads and a DDC Res Top and with a full litre of coolant in the res is about 1/3 full, enough to run the loop but I topped it up with a bit extra.

I use just plain distilled water, works the same

Does distilled water not get real cloudy very quickly?
No it dosn't, it will only cloud if the parts in your loop are not clean. Bottles of distilled are on shelves for months at a time and not once have a bought a cloudy one lol.
Di-ionised water is pretty much the same and much easier to get hold of. Battery top-up water, again is along the same lines. All use different purification methods but the end results is 'pure' water (or as pure as it can be).
I use di-ionised or distilled with a 1 or 2 of drops of iodine. Remember that the more 'crap' (dyes, coolant etc) you add to water the less cooling properties it will have and the bigger chance of tubes, blocks and reservoirs becoming stained.
