If the water was pure the pH would be 7, by definition.

Jimmy Jack do you have a couple flushes (sorry the technical name escapes me at present) for downfall water before it starts to top your tank. That is the first amount of rain goes down the drain whilst most of the dust and crap from your roof is being washed off by rain.
Heaps of people in SA drink rainwater from the tank, no filter needed but if you feel the need and it makes you feel good, do it.However I still may consider getting a filter for the rain water tank so my family can drink the water as well.
No first flush, but my roof and gutters are pretty clean. I seriously cannot see any nasties coming through a 90 minute vigourous boil. Tasted the water yesterday and it is great tasting compared to town water. I am of the opinion that the final product will speak for itself. I also think that the rain water will be better than recycled poo water, water from hospitals and chemical industrial plants going through a treatment process. I am sure that recycled water is just fine but it is horrifing to think what nasty crap gets recycled. However I still may consider getting a filter for the rain water tank so my family can drink the water as well. TA for all the replies
