Default coolant ?'s

whenever i take the aluminum intake off my race engine, i find a white jelly substance around the water ports, 'stat area and in the aluminuuuuum water pump. when this jell dries, it turns to a white powder. i assume this is from dissimilar metals. so what can i add to the coolant to stop this?
my water is fairly hard at an 8 on the Ph.
what is the best type of bottled water to use. there is drinking water, distilled water, purified water.............i remember something about ionized water. i also remember something about a bit of Downey clothes softener.....
this is a real race car, so i can't add to much to the water lest i be banned for life, hung, draw & quartered and burned at the stake for dribbling some substance which cannot ever be removed from the race track!!!!
thoughts?
thanks
