Spring Water Top Off Radiator?

My Degas bottle sprung a slow leak and the only water I had access to was Spring Water in a jug. I added 1 gal and now I would like to know if I should flush the system or is most of that SPRING Water just sitting in the Degas bottle and if I empty that when I replace it am I good to go with out flushing the system?

I have a 2009 F250 6.4 with 266,000 and the delete kit was added 2 years ago just before I bought it.

Thanks

I just wouldn’t worry about it. It’s such a small amount of water in a large cooling system. If the coolant was at the end and was gonna get flushed yeah but if it’s 30,000 miles before it needs it drive it. I can see if it was some lake water you ran because it was a emergency ok but clean drinkable water...I just wouldn’t worry about it.
