Dehumidifier

[Bmac1972]

I run a dehumidifier in my basement... I recently moved my tank downstairs... My question is would it be safe to empty the water from the dehumidifier back into the tank?

I my self do not use water from my de humidifier.
The condensation coils can leach(whatever) mineral crap I believe.
Not worth the risk in any of my tanks IMO.
I wondered myself and believe a real answer of no was given elsewhere.

That was the only thing I could think of myself that would be a problem... Would've been super convenient though.....thanks for the reply

There could be all manner of bacteria in the water as well. Wouldn't risk it.

All manner of things not bacteria would be in there in concentrated amounts. Kudos for trying to reuse however!
