    Are there any do’s and don’ts for rain water harvesting for sprayer use

    I’ve just brought some tanks for collecting rain water and I’m going to get a filter to go on the intake. Do people filter it out as well, don’t want lots of nozzle blocks. We’re in a hard water area so hoping chemicals have a better effect.
