I suppose in a pinch you can use anything, but distilled is optimum.
The chap I bought my generator from (South Perth, Western Australia) had
his rooftop set up to harvest the rainwater. Before it went into the
storage tank it passed through filters. Even so, he used distilled
water for CS.
Over here it pretty much only rains in the winter. You let the first
rains wash your roof, without harvesting the product, then you connect
up the pipe-work to catch the water. In some places without mains water
they have huge tanks, but just for drinking water a fairly small one is
enough.
Unfortunately, our roof both at front and back has lead around the
exhaust/flume pipes, and I'm not sure we'd do well to save that water.
Our garage would probably be better, but there are some huge gum trees
next door which drop vegetable matter all year. The carport roof might
be the best bet. At the moment it's very primitive, just buckets on the
ground catching what pours off the end onto the driveway. We've wanted a
rain water tank installed for almost twenty years, but where to site it
we still haven't decided! In our part of the country it's said that we
get the same rainfall as London, but we get it all in twelve weeks. I
think we're going to miss this year's harvest as well . . .
