      The rainwater as falls because the metal is in the air as it condensing into rainwater the metal is already in the water my brother-in-law is a retired worker from a city water department and he explained where the metals come from I worked for a Coca-Cola bottling company the only way to get rid of them was to use reverse osmosis filters they used 50,000 gallons of water a day and Coca-Cola standard for the water is to be pharmaceutical grade

It is said we all have this chemical in our bodies now. It took 20 years for a class action suit. There was a movie made on this true story called dark waters. The book is called exposure by Robert Bilott. Our govt hides so much from us. Always learning from you both. 😊

    The metal in the water is a result of particulates in the air. Those particulates accumulate and are bound up in the rain drops. Has nothing to do with the metal devices in your system. Its directly proportional to the air quality in your region. I'd definitely recommend putting the reverse osmosis filter in your drinking water, just for the peace of mind if for no other reason than that.

It may develop an odor, but this can be rectified by simply aerating the water, or by switching the water from tank to tank by means of a pump.

Now comes 2008 and our town built half million dollar mansions around us. To run pipes up to my house, the water department said my dad paid for the pipes years ago. Stupid me, I agreed to hook up to town water cap my artesian well and now in May 2023 I'm sorry I ever listened to the water department and should have kept my well. My well water was always crystal clear and tasted 100% better than the town water which gets bacteria almost every summer, sometimes cloudy and never as clean as my Artesian well water was.

    Since you're drinking rain water, the metal may be coming from power plants and factories. The main cause of mercury content in Florida lakes is due to atmospheric deposition. The exhaust from factories and power plants contains metals which are carried into the atmosphere, then they are released and fall to earth when it rains. These factories are required to scrub their exhaust to get rid of the metals, but it is not 100 percent.Maybe something like that is happening with rain water in your area

    So know what you mean regarding water quality. Growing up our water came from rain water and the freashwater river. We only had a charcoal filter on it. But the taste....OMG!!! It tastes so amazing, so fresh and clean.. Now living in suburbia, the taste of chlorine and flouride does my head in, and my skin is greatly affected too. I so miss the natural way we got our water. There will always be poolution, no matter where you live though. A lot will actually be in the rain itself, but you guys are doing everything correct, filtering and cleaning the water, so there is nothing to be concerned about. You should be so proud that your children are growing up with the cleanest water available to them, and they learn that water is a precious commodity when things like drought hit. I'm so sorry you've had so much trouble with your door for the cabin! Cross fingers when you order it this time they get it right! Peace and Love from Australia

    I got my water tested once. After sticker shock of paying the bill, I decided that buying and maintaining a reverse osmosis filter was cheaper than getting annual water testing done. Also for stuff like coliform testing, you've got to transport your water to a lab within 24 hours for the test to be valid. It was still incredibly informative and I was relieved to know I didn't have any heavy metal contamination. But seriously, RO filters have gotten way cheaper than they used to be.

    To make the water safe,,, I found a survey done in the 1960s in Europe, They were asking why some wells were always good wells, and other wells were sometimes good, sometimes bad... Cholera being one of the bad... They found two things in all those 'always good' wells. At least one Roman Copper coin, and at least one Roman Silver coin. When I created my rain water capture, I added pieces of pure silver, and some copper rounds... 10 years ago... no problems...

    I’m so glad you mentioned about regular city water because we have a water softener in south Florida and it’s the most wonderful thing. Your bathroom doesn’t get soap scum just like your skin doesn’t get that dry soap scum feel you’re just slippery and smooth and your hair is wonderful. I highly recommend a water softener system to everybody.

    I live out in the country on the farm I grew up on. I use the same well with no filter system and as far as I know the water has never been tested in the 60+ years since my grandpa first bought the farm. My grandpa owned the farm before my father bought it from him. I don’t think he ever tested the water either. My water taste better than any water I’ve ever tasted.

    Metal particles always get picked up by rain water on roof and gutters. It worsens over years. If you have the right filtration to reduce, you will be okay. Plastic particles do the same over time.
    Frustrating door keeps failing. The mfg may not have to tooling to make or the knowledge to make a jig to customize. It all starts with the hole you cut.

    We've been drinking rainwater from a pond for 22 years. It's great! Pond water systems are common around here where the well water is sulferized, really crappy tasting and hard on plumbing. We have building codes to abide by and our system consists of a floating pond filter (filter 3 feet below the surface) to catch the big stuff, a five micron initial filter and one micron final filters. In addition, thre is a sand filter, a charcoal filter and an iodine injection system that put about .9 ppm iodine into the water just ahead of a pair of 400 gallon "soak" tanks to kill any bacteria. We test the water about every other year and haven't failed a test yet.

This way you’ll have Enough throughout the next winter! Maybe you can design and build it so that you’ll keep the snakes out and any other creepy crawlers such as spiders! Maybe a Nice wire metal (one that doesn’t get rusty) screen all around and over, where the wood can dry properly, yet those dangerous kind of bugs can’t crawl through the screen.😁. Or make the wood shed out of Cedar wood because I heard bugs don’t like Cedar wood!😁. 💖Many Blessings to you Spencer, McKenzie and your Beautiful Children!
