Rainwater acts as free fertilizer for your plants and most people have no idea why... Rain droplets dissolve nitrogen gas from the atmosphere on their way down... In a thunderstorm this effect goes even harder, as lightning cracks nitrogen molecules apart and converts them into forms plants can absorb directly Rainwater ALSO comes in around pH 5.6, slightly acidic, which helps plants pull micronutrients like iron and manganese out of the soil Tap water runs pH 7-8+, which lock those same nutrients out more, making it harder for roots to uptake them Then there's the chlorine. Cities add chlorine and/or chloramine to kill bacteria in your drinking water, but those same chemicals can hammer the soil microbes your plants depend on So moreso than tap = bad, it's more like rainwater = really good as it gives your plants dissolved nitrogen, better pH for nutrient access, and doesn't kill the biology in your soil If you want to get your tap water closer to rainwafer quality, fill a bucket and let it sit 24 hours so the chlorine off-gasses. Campden tablets break down chloramine
