Is R/O water or Carbon Filtered water best?
RO is most like (unpolluted) rainwater
The further away you get from people/manufacturing, the cleaner the rain water is. Lots of places have chemicals in the rain water.Natural rain water is 0ppm?

Rain and RO are close. Neither are truly pure, and have miscellaneous insignificant ions in there. Both are pH neutral.
On a side question. Collecting rain water with a barrel hooked upto a drain pipe etc. how safe is this type of water to use?, I'd imagine the rain water would pick up certain things when running off the roof or through the gutter system and also would it not stagnate if left in a barrel for too long?.
Have been meaning to get around to collecting some rain water but that's what puts me off.
Any water with organic material in it will start to decompose and grow algae. But fresh rainwater would only be limited by air pollution in your area.
