Any rainwater that is the way to go. Until I set up my big water tank I used to just put a 5 gallon bucket under each one of my gutter down spouts. If it rains even a little bit every week or so your solid. When I have to use tap water in emergency I would put a pinch of molasses and small amount of compost in a bucket and bubble that for a day with my tea aerators. Both worked great, I believe organic material can “neutralize” the chloramine in tap water and essentially render it harmless. Probably botched the science on this But I’m not a chemist by any means. Google it and you’ll find better scientific explanation, or maybe you’ll find I’m talking out of my ass, who knows.
