You can easily determine if the Acidic pH measurement of the rainwater is due to Carbonic Acid.
Boil the water for several minutes then re-check the pH.
I understand many people get upset or triggered by certain terms or subjects with respect to the environment and I'm making a conscious effort to avoid them.
Viktor Schauberger like myself understood carbon or "carbones" relating to primary or atmospheric carbon is quite natural. It's when these "primary substances" or elements become "overpotentialized" ie. ions and reactive that they become a problem. As you can see I'm adding Viktor's terminology in with conventional terms for reference. It has taken me years of research to decipher most of Viktor's strange terminology/technology and it is aligned with what we know in science.
Here are the broad strokes...
Overpressure and heat based combustion doesn't only release byproducts we consider harmful. It goes much deeper into the kind of excitation occurring on the atomic level not unlike the Joe cell. For example most like myself though chlorine was benign in our water as a disinfectant, I use it on my well water. However it's a powerful oxidizer on the chemical level which apparently also causes unwanted changes on the atomic level. Oxidizers are reactive substances which also produce a reorganization of the crystalline structure on the molecular level which apparently creates problems. In this respect Viktor was what we might call a nano-technologist or physicist today because he reduced everything down to the most fundamental level.
For example, 80 years ago Viktor purified water in much the same way we are just starting to learn today with what we call cutting edge technology. It's called a plasma/ion reformation process whereby water which could contain any number of pollutants is purified. Low flow purification can be achieved with "capacitive ionization",
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_deionization. The next level for bulk reformation is plasma arc reformation which is not very efficient,
https://www.greengeek.ca/plasma-arcs-for-water-treatment/. However Viktor was doing something truly amazing by applying the principals above as a cold plasma in a vacuum, ie a large vacuum tube.
You see it's no different than the new technology were just starting to learn about however Viktor perfected it damn near 80 years ago. In this respect, like Tesla, he was so far ahead of his time nobody knew what to make of what he was trying to say. This is the point I keep trying to impress upon you gentlemen, it's the same science we know and love, it's just that these inventors were decades ahead of there time.
I built a capacitive deionizer with activated carbon used for aquariums, aluminum flashing as separator plates, a constant current power supply and it works perfectly. The plasma arc reformer is easy enough and I used my trusty Miller Econotig welder to test the process which also works. My work with Viktor's process is still a work in progress however I have no doubts it will work because above all else the science and reasoning behind it is sound. Again, I cannot impress this concept strongly enough... if the concept, theory and the science behind the technology is not sound then were simply chasing smoke and mirrors.
So far as I can tell the problem seems to revolve around what many call conventional science versus advanced science. Which is a quaint way of saying I know I should change and evolve however something I cannot quite describe is always holding me back. I feel it as well, it's just that the force pulling me forward is much greater than that holding me back for reasons I cannot explain.
