When I'm thirsty and it's hot out I just let my cars AC run and collect the water dripping off the bottom of it that normally would puddle up on the ground. Why pay $2 for a bottle of water when I can get it for free from my condenser. :eyesmoke: Who cares if I get a little lead, copper and other toxic heavy metals, I'll live, for now at least.

I think all the info iv read on this topic. It’s concluded to. Depends on air quality.

idk where @calvin.m16 lives. But he must have some shitty air if all he can relate to ac compressors and radiator fluid. I live in souther California where rain is scarce. When it does rain. It’s super acidic from all the air toxins high up in the sky. So I can’t really use it for containers to much the first rain day. However if we have a storm that last a couple days. Ph is more around 6 than 4 the first rain. I know plants love dew. And those droplets have collected minerals from the air.
I think if you can breath good air. And have good air quality. I don’t see a problem with dehumidifier water. Essp those who own air scrubbers. But when I say it o it loud. It just sounds like nasty water. Idk why.

Laboratory Test Results: Condensate Water - Quest Climate

Reusing water from an air conditioner or dehumidifier to feed plants is safe and responsible

Depends on the unit you're using. My air is not only MERV11 hepa filtered but also scrubbed by 10" carbon scrubbers. Air quality definitely will play a factor but then we're just adding more variables and what if's. Water with dehumidifier water, rain water, roof runoff, whatever you choose!

Not trying to prove anyone wrong here, just joining in on the conversation with some objective facts. Quest results prove runoff metal ppm is really low. What if though? lol

No, condensate water has no minerals whatsoever

Simmer down now ,little clown. Your input on the matter has no merit anymore. Your little more than a little clown with little ideas …

That little clown knows when to use your vs you're though. Simmer down dude, you asked for "Any easy quick fit RO systems out there" and I gave you the name of a great one on post 3 of this thread, which you blatentedly disregarded. Now you're just acting like a clown yourself.

If peeps wanna use condensate water, go for it, but personally I'd be a bit concerned about heavy metals. Some dehuey water is cleaner than others. RO is ideal, and cheap. Just spend a bill a get an inexpensive RO unit. Done. Stop clowning around.

I didn’t post a link because all you have to do is google. “Does morning dew contain minerals”. Everything I’m reading says. Yes. Morning dew contains sugars and some minerals.

I thought the same shit until I looked it up.

By all means, post a link showing condensate dew has a measurable mineral content.

Condensate water is devoid of minerals, essentially by definition, and certainly doesn't "collect minerals from the air"

Every single link from google will give you that answer that dew in the morning has sugars and minerals. I don’t need to post a link when it’s on every link. I mean. Cmon

Can Morning Dew be Enough to Water Plants? Here's How

Dew can be beneficial when it comes to providing plants with additional moisture and reducing plant stress from drought conditions. Dew can be used as a source of moisture for plants by placing them outdoors

Chemical Compositions of Dew and Scavenging of Particles in Changchun, China

Dew and rain water were collected during 2013 and 2014 in Changchun, China. The dew was analyzed and the following parameters were measured: pH, EC, TDS, major anions (F<sup>−</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, <svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"...
