running just al will be a little harsh on your internals. al has a very abrasive propertie.
running just water is ok, but if you live in an area where winter is a concern, water will freeze by itself.

buy yourself a gallon of isopropyl alcohol and mix it 50% / 50% with pure distilled water, then it won't freez and not too harsh.

if you want to go cheaper, get the blue washer fluid. it is about 50/50 and a tiny blue dye. just make sure it doesn't have anything extra added, like deicer, etc.
