Harvested Rain water looks a little murky - OK to use?

[cloudnine]

Ive recently setup a rain water collection system.

It comes off the roof at about 14ppm

Ive just pumped it through a DI vessel at a pretty fast rate and it comes out at 2ppm (its run through an inline filter on the hose just before the DI and theres a filter in the pump too)

I filled some 25 l containers and they look a little murky and not crystal clear.

I poured some into a pint glass and it looks crystal clear.

Im slightly nervous about using it...  should i use it?

Give your windows a clean with it,

Some of my rainwater comes our murkier than other times and I've had no problems. So long as tds is fine I wouldn't worry.

If it looks "murky" then it,s dirty surely, so your rinsing with dirty water?
