In a production environment, acid flux is almost universal. Rosin flux requires solvents and the local air pollution cops watch you very closely. The solvents are more likely to damage components than water.

A proper wave soldering system does a great job of displacing the flux, and water cleans the acid off very nicely.

DI water is the standard, usually in a closed loop system. Most process now use water soluble flux. If not, sometimes a wash with addition of soap and/or solvent is done prior to the DI water rinsing.
