I also agree that using deionized water would be a bad idea due to its metal corroding properties.

Holy Mackerel. You obviously have a computer, know how to use the internet, and Google is free.
I would look something like that up before taking it as the gospel truth, although it is on the FDA "Generally Recognized as Safe" list as a food additive. (Which took less than a minute to discover on Google.)

I realize many people try to save a buck filling tires, but much of what is used is certainly harmful to the environment or animals if spilled. RimGuard is also noncorossive.

You get the weight that you want for ballast. The tire can still be replaced if need be. Unless I am missing something. The cost is probably the biggest factor.
