Portable Dehumidifier
Can You Drink Water From a Typical Portable Room Dehumidifier?
Assuming the unit is clean and has been disinfected with bleach periodically, is there anything inherent in the process by which a typical room dehumidifier works to preclude safely drinking the water it extracts from the air? Is the water essentially w/o additional minerals and chemicals found tap and well water? The only thing that comes to mind for me is that there might be some lead welds somewhere . . . sorta like the old problem of using car radiators in alcohol stills.
OK, I am getting contradictory answers . . . can anyone provide a third party reference or source to back up their opinion?
Bingo!!!
You got it correct. The water in the reservoir of a dehumidifier is not intended for human (or pet) consumption.
Water your plants with it if you want, but don’t drink it.
The solder in the coils has lead in them. Besides, even if you bleach it on a regular basis, their are bacteria that thrive in that type of environment… like Legionnaire’s disease, remember?
It grew in air conditioning units in those hotels.
