Before pipes, before plastic bottles, our ancestors simply looked up. For millennia, cultures from the ancient Romans to the Maya collected rain as a primary water source. Even the philosopher Pliny the Elder sang its praises, claiming rainwater was the "lightest and most delicate" of all waters.
Today, the romance of a rooftop shower or a garden hose filled with fresh rain is undeniable. It’s a direct connection to the water cycle, a little bit of wild weather tamed for your tea kettle. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to lower your utility bill and reduce your eco-footprint.
