From what I've read it should be fine. It lubricates and prevents swelling. Thinking I may do a distilled water and PG mix and run it for a year.
60/40 water/PG
The above might seem OK until you factor in this,

And LHM was tested with brakes. Hot brakes.
Why bother? Use LHM and thats it. I have used it for years and I am haveing no issues. At all. In the first years of Magura hydrostops they even recomended the use of LHM in their manual.
All brake fluids, whatever they are, are designed to cope with high temperatures and not to boil at those temperatures causing gases which result in brake failure.
You are proposing to use water as a brake fluid :shock: , which boils at 100C, way, way below what proper brake fluids do.
It's your choice of course but try touching your brakes after a downhill where you are braking hard, frequently. They'll be feckin hot.
Do you really want to risk the water turning to steam just when you need your brakes the most?
