Does the coolant in the reservoir stay stagnant? Or does it move through the system?
I ask because I replaced my reservoir the other day, and I added water and coolant to it to top it off. (I did a system flush over the summer: 50-50)
I checked the coolant strength in the reservoir tonight, and none of the balls floated... meaning that the water I added the other day hasn't moved through the system.

As the motor warms up coolant from the heads will go into the tank. It may take some time for it all to be mixed thoroughly. Personally I would not add straight water to the tank.
