1. A rainwater processing system, comprising:
a collection system configured to receive and channel rainwater;
a test subsystem configured to test a portion of received rainwater channeled by the collection system;
processing circuitry configured to:
control a first valve to selectively channel received rainwater to the test subsystem; and
control a second valve to selectively channel received rainwater to a processing subsystem in response to a result of the test of the portion of received rainwater by the test subsystem; and
control a third valve to selectively channel received rainwater to at least one of the first valve and the second valve, the third valve being controlled based at least in part on a signal from a weather sensor; and
the processing subsystem being configured to:
filter received rainwater;
ozonate the filtered received rainwater to produce potable water; and
prepare a functional water by adding a substance to the potable water within the processing tank.
