If you have colour and odour in your harvested rainwater then it must have been contaminated during storage, almost certainly by decomposing detritus washed into your rainwater tank. Empty your storage tank and give it a really good clean and, as has been suggested, put a periodic flushing or draindown regime in place to prevent it happening again. Also consider ways to prevent leaves etc getting into your tank.

Total agree. The only thing I would add is that the roof surfaces and draining networks should be cleaned regularly. Simple meshwire can help to keep larger material away from your harvesting network and storage tank.
