I thinking of harvesting rain water for household use. Mainly for cleaning, bathing, and maybe drinking also (after being filtered of course).
My question is this safe to do? Is there any harsh chemicals from the rain that may harm you? Like acid rain for instance. I'm wondering if this is a good idea, or is harvesting rain water only good for watering plants or outdoor use?
I'm thinking of moving somewhere in West Coast of the US, in CA. I was thinking that most of the water would come from the ocean so its relatively clean, I think.
