That sounds pretty high, better check out the level of "stuff" that may have collected in those appliances...Should be close to neutral. 7.My AC & dehumidifier run off water pH runs mid 3 to 4 with a ppm of about 20-30.

Where did you get your PHD? I have a friend that is a Ph.D. who is a professor of soil science at a major university. I can bug him occasionally with my growing questions. I collect runoff water as well as the local water is SO hard (over 400ppm) it must be diluted with the runoff water (under 10ppm) before adding any additives. I'm concerned about any bad bacteria happening in the stored water. I keep mosquito larvae out with "mosquito pellets" but don't know what else to do to ensure the water is safe. I'm thinking of adding some tap water to it (full of anti-bacterial ingredients) to "purify" it letting it sit for the chlorine to evaporate off for a few days before use. Anybody else using collected rainwater? Any problems with long storage? (a few months max) I'll check with my local water department if they offer any testing services. I store it all in plastic garbage cans by the way.Contact your local water department they usually run tests cheap and or free.

Rotary car?? do you have a Mazda with a rotary engine?? I had an RX-7. I ran the ex. engine with a turbocharger to create a Porche embarrassor! Then when it burned up I had the larger rotary engine from the pick up installed. It had much more torque than the original. I'm sorry I let that one go. Sorry for the non-pot blurb.Water is def not a renewal resource. That's why it illegal to use some places. There is probably something leaching into your tank. I doubt the roof would have anything to do with it unless something was sprayed on it even then the rain water only touched it for at the most 3 seconds.
Google search for a water supply store say culligan man if in Ontario. Call them out to have your tap water tested they will test your rain water too
I use rain water for my dwc but I add cal mag obviously my water tested pH of 6.8 and ppm of 8.
Unless your in a heavily populated and polluted city like LA where acid rain could be the problem (not sure about alkaline rain tho).
Have you considered a possible microb problem? That would be my first place I'd start. Some how sterilize your holding tank with hydroguard or enzyme complete even high dose of h202.
"In what process naturally found on earth that free roaming hydrogen atoms are smash@g into a pair of oxygen atoms?" It's naturally-occurring, formed by sunlight acting on water, and hydrogen peroxide is produced by both plant and animal cells. 30, 2019 I suggest reading this.I work in the water conservation industry. 100% non renewable. The water cycle nothing in the article explained how water is created! It evaporates then condenses ok how is that making water?
The water I drink is used up and what's left is non drinkable! Yes with human innovation we can purify pur water.

There's an easy way to determine weigh your grey water and the purified water you extract. Wood is renewable new trees grow. The water cycle does not make water it distributes it.
Always on target Plumber!Planet Earth makes its own water from scratch deep in the mantle
Computer simulation confirms that water can form within our planet rather than arriving from space, and the process may explain mysterious deep quakeswww.newscientist.com
Science and stuff.
Shit, I use a million gallons per shower but then again I'm a plumber, I need it!Well a computer model must be right. Just because the earth can make minor amounts of water from scratch is hardly proof of a renewable resource.
On that hand its amazing how much we don't know about our own home or yourselfs.
To truly be considered renewable would mean it replenished as fast or faster than we can use it.
In that sense being only 3% of all the water one the planet is potable by definition its non renewable.
Either way I live in the only country that could be self sustaining because 2.99% of that fresh water is here in Canada.
America alone uses billions of gallons of potable water just to water crops and landscapes per day. Now the hypothesis about renewable water of course is vague and not convincing to me at all because I doubt even the scientist who wrote that article would believe the world renews that kind of galanage that it is indeed non renewable simply because we use it 1000times fasterthen it could possibly be renewed.
Of course I'll hang on to my diploma and I'll still argue my side of the debate because plain and simple millions arewithout.
When the tru worth of water comes to light not a single person on this forum will be able to afford to waste water watering there grass if any of is will even be able to afford to drink it.
My rain water comes off a steel roof thankfully
My tap water at the tap is at 750ppm hard is not the word for it more like diamond water pH of 7 tho.
I'm gonna look into the water being created on the earth tho because if I've learned anything in my short time on this planet is you can't trust anything or anyone. One supposed published article about a hypothesis is hardly considered a fact. The reason water is considered renewable is the fact when it evaporates they consider it off world then when it falls back to earth that's renewed. With new tech the 3% will get bigger.
I can say I believe Martians have never been here on earth I believe they out there but not here because simply one of the rarest things in the universe is life sustaining liquid water and if Martians found earth they will kill us off to take the water.
