It might be if you don't mind rusty blocks and water.
Antifreeze also lubes the water pump seal, if you have the new seal for the rear bushing. Antifreeze= no rust, no freeze cracks, and higher boiling temp.

as i said in post # 10 . use h2O for couple weeks till you are sure your leak into the oil is fixed, then use antifreeze all year

Distilled water with the rust inhibitor will coat the cooling system enough so that it won't rust or corrode anything when drained for the winter. Water also transfers heat better allowing the engine to run a bit cooler than anti-freeze.
