can i drink the water from my dehumidifier, or give it to my animals?

Answer 1

This isn't a third world country. Pour it out and give the animals some fresh, cold water. Same goes for you.

Answer 2

dehumidifier can grow mold in them so don't drink it or give it to the animals - dump it out or water the plants with it

Answer 3

I could tell you of about five different types of intestinal parasites and diseases you could get that would keep you cleaned out. You wouldn't have to worry about being plugged up anymore but, you'd be in a lot of pain. I can't believe you'd want to drink this water. Have you ever heard of things like Camphylobacter? little bugger will keep you in the bathroom with the bloody poops 'till your head swims.

Answer 4

Technically it should be safe since its condensate, but the main issue is that you could have bacteria in the drip area where this water collects which could make someone sick.

Its ok to give to your plants, but I would rather see you use water from the Tap :)

Answer 5

To be safe, I'd give it to my plants...unless you plan on cleaning the reservoir all the time.

Lime can build up, scaling in your water is gross.

Don't get sick or chance it with Fido...your plants will love it!

Answer 6

i would not think about all the spiders and bugs that crawl all over it if you still want to try it then take a decent sample to a water conditioning shop like culligan or someplace like that but i think that if i or my pets had to drink something like that then we would be dehydrated then thats gross

Answer 7

it is very harmful to your life you should not drink that water you should give it to animals you should drink boiled and filtered water

Answer 8

N O. Use it only for plants and grass.
