Any Truth to Alternating Nutes With Straight H20?

I have 4 complete grows with bubble-ponics without issues, then I came across an old thread where the grower (Undercover Cop) says he alternates nutes with H2O.

His grows were first rate, but he seems to be long gone, so I ask fellow growers... What is your experience?
 
There is much logic to this, a few sites on the web say there is much success to be had, but they're also the same sites that are selling H20 that is 'pure'.. the upside.. if it works - cut down on nute costs (even if home-brew) & nothing really 'invested' other than a crop cycle of time and more water. Downside: If it produces lower yield, you still have the same electricity bill.
 
I change rez ~ 7 days, depending on stage of growth/flower

I am in mid flower now, so consuming 1G per day

Plants use sufficient H20 to increase 800 to 950 in 24 hours.

Think I will simply top off with straight H20 until I change nutes
 
i top off with 8gal H20 every 7 days, first week i hand water each plant half a cup of compost tea no nutes in res just the added H20, the week after add nutrition at full strength(dynagrow grow) for the added water. then back to compost tea alternating to the end.
 
oh and PF UCC is still around(not on RIU), he went to another site i believe, if i can remember what site,(he told me b4 he left) ill PM you.
