it seems sea water (or possibly even grey water) could possibly leave behind evaporite deposits.
i don't know how these systems work though, or whether the water is actually evaporated,
but i had assumed that clean water would be needed. salt water could be the
way to go...?

If you can use grey water or
salt water there would not be a problem.
If
the water used has to be clean drinkable water there is a problem.
