Collecting Rain water
    #11214299 -

Collected an estimated 30 gallons. thats 1 10 gallon fishtank, 2 5 gallon buckets and 15 bottles that vary in size (3 liters, gallons and 1.75 liter lemonade bottles).  Got so much, i dont know what to do with. Im gonna try to rain water solo besides PCing which ill use drinking water in the PC.  :dancingbacon:

Check the pH level - particularly if you live near a city.

Mineral water is better for the mushies.  Rain water won't contain the beneficial mineral content.  I can't think of any good use for distilled or rain water aside from preservation of slants or spores and such.

I doubt you'll notice any appreciable difference between rain water and distilled water regardless.

im no scientist but im pretty sure rainwater is quite filthy. that is why after it rains on your car your car gets dirty. each drop basically has like a grain of dirt in it. or something like that..

yeah depending on where you live your rain water quality could be shitty, also, water collected in dirty buckets and from your gutter is most definitely not clean. Maybe you should go with "rain water is the freshest" because pure doesn't work here.

we've got too many refineries polluting the air to drink our rain water

a few years back there was a day where the rain would burn your skin, and leave little marks on any plants where the water sat

isn't rain water distilled water + dirt and pollution from the air?

most tasty minerals would stay on the ground, no?
