i collect rain water but i dont have lots of custys so never really need a lot of it. i got a blue water butt that my shed roof fills with rain water. i have a tap on it with a small piece of foam  stuck in to stop crud and poop coming out into my bottles i carry. it does a great job never get spots on the glass and i dont use liquid anymore unless the glass is really greasy.
