just curious...could you put rain water through a RO/DI filter and then it should be GTG right?....now keep in mind you have to pressurize it and there is waste, but in theory it would work right??....but prolly a waste of time?

I'm not saying it won't work but you never know if there will be any crap in it that your not testing for. Just to big of a risk IMO.
out here in west texas the oilfeild pumps things into the ground that end up in the water-the wateris brine lots of chemicals and stuff it doesn't even look clean in a glass
