If you want clean water, you need to do more than evaporate it. Thanks to nasty stuff like Atrazine and PFAS, our rainwater brings chemicals that can alter reproductive organs, endocrine function, and are linked to cancer. I don't know if reverse osmosis removes these chemicals, but it would be worth removing at the source. An ounce of prevention can save a pound of downstream medical and societal costs.
