Is R/O water or Carbon Filtered water best?
Natural rain water is 0ppm?RO is most like (unpolluted) rainwater
The further away you get from people/manufacturing, the cleaner the rain water is. Lots of places have chemicals in the rain water.Natural rain water is 0ppm?
I see thnxThe further away you get from people/manufacturing, the cleaner the rain water is. Lots of places have chemicals in the rain water.
Rain and RO are close. Neither are truly pure, and have miscellaneous insignificant ions in there. Both are pH neutral.Natural rain water is 0ppm?
Right, I dunno why but I always assumed water had a little but of X minerals in it, aLmost like it's raining calmag ;p. I feel dumb now ^^.Rain and RO are close. Neither are truly pure, and have miscellaneous insignificant ions in there. Both are pH neutral.
Any water with organic material in it will start to decompose and grow algae. But fresh rainwater would only be limited by air pollution in your area.On a side question. Collecting rain water with a barrel hooked upto a drain pipe etc. how safe is this type of water to use?, I'd imagine the rain water would pick up certain things when running off the roof or through the gutter system and also would it not stagnate if left in a barrel for too long?.
Have been meaning to get around to collecting some rain water but that's what puts me off.
So would keeping it in the dark and using within a week be fool proof?.Any water with organic material in it will start to decompose and grow algae. But fresh rainwater would only be limited by air pollution in your area.
