I have never heard of anyone using that procedure but it might work. I would however, double-check the container and drain pipes for nasty elements and I might wonder what kind of material washes off the roof as well.
Like I said, it sounds logical and a good idea, but I would be on the side of safety by making sure that the water adding is safe from chemicals and such.
Hopefully other members will be adding their thoughts to this question!

Any amount of chlorine can be harmful. Small amounts don't mean imminent death, but can still reduce proper gill function.
