Dehumidifier water

If she is going to put the dehumidified waste water into "your" CPAP, then you have too much life insurance..

Dehumidifier grey water? Don't they make Bud Light out of that?

I've read recently that water from air conditioner condensation is not good for plants. So I would not even think about putting water from a dehumidifier near my head as in my humidifier, I wouldn't even put it on my plants.

Someone would have to explain to me the logic of this danger to plants. I have watered many a plant with it.

Where did you read this? Was an explanation offered?

Its not distilled water, its condensate and it needs to be disposed of in a drain. As posted before you can get quite sick from it. Check your local plumbing codes, it must be disposed of properly. It will disolve copper pipe. It has a low pH. nasty stuff it is.

Definitely a "no" after I just scrubbed and bleached the buckets from our dehumidifiers because they had a not-so lovely slime growing in them. Ack!!

Let her drink a few glasses of it and see if she still thinks it's a good idea.

Or simply let her clean the dehumidifier coils and tank a few times.

I remember someone asking if you could use it for cleaning contact lenses.

Several years ago, somebody came up with a novelty water fountain that
filtered and dispensed drinking water condensed from the air.
I suspect it is no more. Go figure.
