H20 from your Dehumidifier.

[EasyBakeIndica]

I've heard people advise against using the water from a dehumidifier, but apparently this guy has it all figured out: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5419946

In a room with 55% relative humidity, he pulls 6 gallons of water per day.

That's pretty cool.

Water from dehumidifiers absorbs from the dehumidifier radiator... which is often dust, and copper. If its all aluminum you should be good, but throw on an air filter to reduce dust it should be good to go... not counting the fact RO water is bad to drink because our bodies prefer mineral water.

I have used water from a dehumidifier for my ez cloner after finding the ec at zero. But I stopped when advised that dehumidifiers collect fungal spores and other microbes as they extract moisture from the damp air.
Even after showing no ill effects after a couple months, it probably isn't safe to use the water without boiling first.,,,,for plants or drinking.

I was gonna do this, but I kept thinking about lead in the solder leaching.
Also, I believe aluminum is toxic to plant roots.

EBI.....Edit.....Thought this was about re-using runoff from dehueys for plant feed......Sorry......But......I`ve been using the runoff from my dehueys back to my main rez`s for goin on 3 yrs. now with no ill results, pathogens , fungi ,etc. etc..........I do have shit goin on as far as powerheads and D/O pumps churning up the solution inside the tank though and that might have something to do with it.....The shit`s 0 ppm`s straight outta the unit....It`s been checked many times........How can I lose with R/O water added back to my rez`s so I don`t haveta top off from my R/O unit and waste tapwater.......My Amcor`s are 65 pint units and in late flower they run several times a day if not more cuz where I live 70-80% RH is common yr. round.......Anyways.......Use it or lose it..........Mine add back at least 5-6 gals. a day when they`re full blastin it.......Ya`ll take care........DHF......... ...........EDIT......Just saw that unit .......That`s killer shit ta be able to drink the proceeds from a dehuey..........I don`t think I wanna be a guineapig right now though..........Couple yrs. if nobody glows in tha dark from it....... I`m in............. ......

if you run the water through a filter would it be ok to use after that?
