Hi..Is it pure water....according to the label its Drinking Water....Could be anything ...in a few days i will have drums and drums of rain waterin fact it has a rain feel about it today??...

BTW...The cotton company rang me again this morning re their samples.....I thought cotton rope would soak up the water but my testing is not showing anything ......I have the rope in the water at the top of my drum and hanging over the outside of the drum..(NOT in the inside and into the soil ) ..I am wondering if I am missing something here ...I was told to soak the rope first but the rope has just dried out....Maybe Polyproylene is better than cotton after all??
