As ong as ther rain water is working for you thats great. I would be
skeptical though since each time it rains, you can get varied
parameters of what the rain water is............Now this may sound
absurd, but its facts based on a few years observation on my mud ponds
in regards to algae etc. I get heavy algae blooms if we get a heavy
rainfall that comes in from the west...........however storms that
blow in from the south rarely if ever affect the algae or my water no
matter how much it rains..............
===================
The storms here almost always come from the west/north west. The rain water
does contain something because I see string algae in the outside tubs. I'm
constantly netting out twigs and leaves before they break down but at least
it's free of calcium (soft) and other crap in our tap water.
