Rain water is fine. It will dilute your chemicals, but it also lowers alkalinity and calcium hardness, which can be a problem for some pools. With my fill water TA over 400, I love rain water.

It keeps me from having to top off from loss due to evaporations, and if I get too much water in there from heavy rains, gives me a good excuse to backwash and clean the sand filter.

Ditto, I have had to do that a few times just in the last 10 days. Just watch your chemical levels as he said - dilution.
Beats driving to the lake!

I appreciate the rain, matter of fact, I channel runoff from my roof into my pool to help top it up since this is my only source of water (next to buying it by the truckload)
H2O is H2O, chemicals can always be adjusted, crap can always be killed off.
