Tap water contains minerals, which can promote corrosion of cooling system components. Therefore, it is NOT recommended that tap water be used when filling a cooling system. Manufacturers typically recommend a 50/50 mixture of distilled/deionized water and proper antifreeze.

How did the friction take longer time to fill water can with hose than tap?

Friction in the hose causes water flow to be slower compared to the direct flow from the tap. This is due to the resistance the water encounters as it moves through the length of the hose, resulting in a longer time to fill the can. With the tap, there is a direct and unobstructed flow of water, leading to a faster fill time.
