Title: Has anyone used untreated rainwater?
Post by: Mike55 on November 11, 2010, 01:14:03 pm

I know some of you guys have used harvested rainwater collected from the house/ garage/ shed roof.

Have you actually used this water without DI (assuming the TDS is low enough) and if so what sort of results did you get?

Yes, you can get used to collecting it at 000tds, google rainwater collecting etc. theres zillions of gallons up there for free.

Thanks Jeff/ Gold

Interesting as I have collected a sample for my connie roof and has come in at 005.  I set a makeshift filter up on the downpipe with some sponge and a pair of tights.

Might give this a test on my place and see what results I get :)

Seems like a great way to go if you have room to implement it  ;D
