    Default rain water

    How much if any does rain water affect the chemistry of the pool?

    Otherwise, rain water dilutes whatever chemicals you have, depending on how much falls and if you have an overflow for excess water.

    Generally, unless you have acid rain, it has less effect than well water or town water.
