For a week you should be ok. I say that not knowing how your tap water is. If its ok you should be ok.

I personally have AWFUL tap water. When my Ro/DI went down, and it still is down btw, I switched to distilled water that I buy from the store. Has been much better on my system, and might be a viable option if you are in a similar situation.
