Boiled water has the virtue of low oxigenated liquid for mixing chemicals,
and a diaphram filter will take away any remaining chemicals. Put it all in
a 'rain cathcing' barrel with spigot, youcan buy or special order from most
any hardware and Voila!
Or, for $2.50 you can get the necessary two and a half gallons of distilled
water at the grocery for 12X20 inch processing.
I'd go for the rain catcher installed in my home, personally.

I researched this to duplicate the Portuguese roof design option for here in
water poor Carmel.
