If you only catch rain in heavy downpours it is possible to catch it at 000 ppm. Its too much hassle for me personally,.. so I catch it however it falls, and it seems to average between 020 and 030 ppm.
I've got the rainwater tank up high, and it just gravity feeds through the DI (Slowly!) into another tank.
