DeHumidifier water

Has anyone used the water from the dehumidifier? it shows like RO, 10 ppm and a pH 7.5, ro has a slightly lower pH. 

it's just condensed water from the air. 

I can't think of any reasons not to, can anyone else?

    • I have watched several vidoes stating it is not in any way meant to be used as drinking water. I understood it to be that the metals used would not be food grade and could leak nasty stuff into the water. 

       

      Otherwise I do agree, why not when it measure only 10 ppm. 

       

      I think it wqs stated in one or more of these videos. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=thunderfoot+water

        •  I think most of the parts that come in to contact with the h20 are 99% aluminum. It's the other 1% that could be mercury, lead, uranium who knows? I would just get a 2 outlet fish pump and a couple of air stones heavy enough to sink in how ever many buckets of water you use in the day. Get the water bubbling about 24 hrs before you are going to use it. The ph will rise some but not out of hand. And if your ppms are too high or you have lots of iron or sulfur you might have to get a RO set up.
