rain water brings parasites and bacteria... I live 25 stories up, i use the tap water without any problems at all.. fill up jugs and leave them for 24 hours to let any chemicals evaporate..

If you live way out in the woods I would think rain water is the best...boiling water well only kill the living crap in other than that you still leave all the other junk in the water. Now if you could boil the water and collect the steam and use the water from that would be ok its called distilled water. I use tap water and add bumper down because of the PH.

test the ph level of your tap water...rain too. i've tested both out here and our tap water can run as high as 9.0 while rainwater has been as low as 5.0...

does the britta filter work? hmmmmm... ur using soil right? just check ur water for pH and how hard it is, I have well water and it works fine, but for a hydro op, i have a reverse osmosis thingy (technical term) under my sink lol
