Dehumidifier water

[Vitov7]

I was stoned the other day while emptying the water tank in my dehumidifier and thought to myself damn this water looks super clean and so I tested it the PPM was 9. Has anyone ever collected the water and used it to feed plants? My water tank fills up every 20 hours or so

I use it when convenient. It's good water.

Then I'll start collecting it as long as it sits in a 5 Gal bucket and there is an aerator oxygenating the water it shouldn't get stagnant

It’s not safe to drink, and is considered grey water. You can use it for other purposes, such as watering plants, flushing toilets, etc. It contains trace metals, oils, and maybe harmful bacteria.

Throw some enzyme in there and don't worry about it sitting around as long as used up in a couple days.

I'm always having to fill a reservoir and let it sit to remove chlorine for the next day's feeding. When I use the ac or dehuey reclaim it saves time.

I used it all the time. I used the A/C water too. In my last sealed grow I rarely added water to the rez I was recovering so much.
