Being eco friendly?

[Icd1227]

Okay so, my dryer doesn't have a vent for water vapor, it actually condenses evaporated water from the clothes in it into a cartridge that you empty out after each load.

Would this water be clean since it is evaporated and condensed? Clean enough for my fishtank? Or would chemicals from the cleaning materials still be in the water?

Hi Icd,

I would in no way feel confident in using the evaporated water from your dryer, even if you prolong the "Rinse" part of the washing machine. You can't get all of the surfactants out, at least not enough to make it aquarium friendly. There are all kinds of different cleaning agents and perfumes to make your clothes smell good that will make it into the tank.

I agree with David, bad idea. Other ways to be eco friendly, use old tank water for garden plants, or reutilize the water water by piping in an aquaponics system.
