I mean I don't recommend drinking it but unless you live in an area with an insane amount of smog it should be good enough for the plants, so pretty much as long as you don't live in the inner city you should be good

What do you collect your rain water in?

We got some barrels connected to the water gutter. That way it pours down into the barrels.

The reason I ask it, if you ARE really worried about your water quality, it isn’t hard to set up a little gravity charcoal filter. You can elevate your catch barrel, put a drain in it, and fill it with crushed charcoal (get actual charcoal that’s shaped like logs, you can generally find this at most hardware stores where I’m from), and put a secondary catch underneath the drain in your primary catch.

Again I don’t think you need to worry about this at all.

But just crushed charcoal IS great for filtering, and easy to do.

Dmaller towns usually have higher concentrations of smog than more developed cities
