The issue I see is that usually city water that we pump into our RODI units is sterile. Thus funk does not grow in the sediment and carbon filters.
What? Tap water isn't sterile...at least not on the US and the pre-filters do get slimed up.

Not at all. Regulated what can be sell as drinking water is one think but trying to regulate that people can’t drink untreated, un filter rain water is like regulate that one cannot touch the bares black wire I electrical of the house. It cannot be enforce and does no good. Stupid people (don’t know and does not respect electricity) cannot be keep safe. Y regulation like this. They can learn or won’t be around much longer. It they don’t know and does not bother to learn then there will me just one less person soon and there is nothing the government can do about it, regulation or noThat's like saying, the gov't shouldn't mandate that all cars have airbags because only stupid drivers hit stuff. Someone may not necessarily know that drinking straight up rain water may be dangerous because it seems "natural". I'd be careful to jump straight to "stupidity". There's a lot of stuff people do that seems "stupid", but only because you may know better.
And to piggyback on to what @TI02022020 and @Darren in Tacoma , wars have been fought, and people have been killed over access to water. So it makes sense to me.
Bad idea. Who sprays what in your area? I've collected rain water for a long time and its nasty. Just don't. Pay for rodi. Just curious, tank size, lighting, controllers?
