Rainwater good for what?

So I might be going out on a limb here, but why not just get a dehumidifier for your house? You should put it in a separate room for your frogs so it doesn't suck humidity from your frog's tank. But the water left in it is distilled. If you have a basement or something that would work fantastically. You wouldn't need to worry about buying distilled water anymore (or as often anyways).

Another option is to get a reverse osmosis system (not cheap though). I'm not sure if it's actually distilled but I'm assuming it would remove enough mineral to be used in your mister.

Great advice and I thank you for it. However a dehumidifier just might leave me as human jerky. I'm already struggling with the dryness in my house. I suffer from eczema and it's so dry and cold right now that I'm having an outbreak, which is unusual as I've had it under control for years.

Dee, i think you are starting to over think this. just use declorinated tap water in your mister. clean it out thoroughly once a month with a mild vinegar/water solution (including mist nozzles) and you should have no problems whatsoever. worst case scenario? your nozzles may clog and you'll have to spend about $10 or so for new ones.
