Disposing of Distilled Water

The only reason people have concerns about purified water is because the lack of ions or other material make it a slightly more aggressive solvent... Drinking it should also be ok as you have so much stuff swilling about in your stomach so it wouldn't stay purified for long. That said there could be some danger related to drinking it exclusively for (say) 20 years but who really knows?

Same argument for chucking it down the toilet/sink, as soon as the stuff has touched the basin etc. and flowed down the drains it will be anything but purified!
 
Not to mention you will have just flushed it through a flux resin contaminated rad. Absolutely no need to use anything other than tap water to flush a rad in the first place to be honest.
 
As above, I always use hot tap water to flush my rads. I think people tend to get too anal about certain aspects of watercooling. I had a pre-mix in my old loop for over 2 years. Drained it before Christmas and there were no signs of contamination or corrosion anywhere.
