RO Water, as that is 0ppm (or near to), carbon filtered should be just the ion exchange, CA , MG ions exhanged to something else, mostly NA.
But there is one type filter who do CA to MG.

Edit: Carbon filter is just , filter, no ion exchange)
Wrong info from me!

RO is still 0 ppm :-)

Rain and RO are close. Neither are truly pure, and have miscellaneous insignificant ions in there. Both are pH neutral.

Right, I dunno why but I always assumed water had a little but of X minerals in it, aLmost like it's raining calmag ;p. I feel dumb now ^^.

On a side question. Collecting rain water with a barrel hooked upto a drain pipe etc. how safe is this type of water to use?, I'd imagine the rain water would pick up certain things when running off the roof or through the gutter system and also would it not stagnate if left in a barrel for too long?.
Have been meaning to get around to collecting some rain water but that's what puts me off.

Any water with organic material in it will start to decompose and grow algae. But fresh rainwater would only be limited by air pollution in your area.

So would keeping it in the dark and using within a week be fool proof?.

I trust that the three most critical components that exist are nitrogen, carbon and oxygen. Nitrogen is to a great degree significant in light of the fact that it is such a huge piece of the nourishment web. Carbon is essential since it is additionally some portion of the sustenance web because of the way that it assumes such an imperative part in the structure of every living thing and numerous nonliving things. Carbon additionally gives our common fuel. Oxygen is critical in light of the fact that it is basic in many procedures that empower life and in the change of vitality. Oxygen can likewise consolidate with such a variety of various components to shape various mixes.

Nitrogen is indispensable in our reality. Around four fifths of the air we inhale is nitrogen. In particular, nitrogen is a standout amongst the most essential components since it is the base of the sustenance web and it is included in a principal cycle. Free nitrogen noticeable all around is consumed by plants and changed over to plant proteins. It is then eaten by creatures that change over it to creature proteins and return it to the dirt as nitrogen waste. At that point bacterial activity causes the nitrogen mixes to end up noticeably free nitrogen once more. Subsequently, plants require nitrogen to survive, the creatures require the plant proteins to survive, and we thusly require creatures and plants to survive.
