What’s Great about Rainwater

 

Soft water!

No minerals

No smell

No weird taste

No water softener and the salt they use.

Shampoo rinses out of your hair

Soap rinses out of your clothes

No mineral buildup in your faucets, pipes, water heater, etc.

No water bills

Piped-in water is very expensive in the hill country

No well

No worry about when the well will go dry

A rainwater system pressure/jet pump is much cheaper than a well pump

A jet pump uses much less power

Plants do MUCH better on rainwater (it is what they are used to)

Well and municipal water are very alkaline- rainwater in our area is very close to neutral.

 

You really get spoiled on rainwater!
