Clean rain water is distilled by any other name. The only thing it should pick up on its way down is gases and any dust present in the air...not really significant.
Just don't collect if from your roof!

I had thought about that and also water from a dehumidifier or a clothes drier.

That would be the best and most reliable, readily available free source.

I use rain water from the garden butt and have had no problems and it is free.
