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!
