It's distill water after all, in a way. Would it be safe to use like RO water? My dehumidifier pumps out a few gallon everyday. Would be great if it's safe to use it.
Safe to use water from dehumidifyer?

Interesting thought.
I forgot what a dehumidifier was for a moment. They are unheard of here in Southern AZ.

hmm. I'd test the crud out of the water--test for TDI, metals, and all the normal aquarium stuff we testfor, and at least run it through a carbon filter. it's not technically distilled though-- it's just condensed. for distillation, the water must boil THEN condense. :)

Not to mention that coils inside those dehumidifers contain copper lines.I wouldnt trust it in my tank.

I wouldn't use it. like Yote said, the condenser coils are usually copper or aluminum...and neither are good for a reef tank.
