I have empty watercans out side & if I collect more water out dehumidifier. I pour in empty cans then take water & pour on flowers, doesn't waste any. I like that helps hands better if you have arthritis... "Cookie'

The humidity will be rising soon and we all should be getting out our dehumidifiers. Here's a great way to save water. We have a birdbath in our back yard.

When the weather starts to warm, I start my dehumidifier. When the catch tank is full, I use the water for my plants. I am conserving water as well as keeping my monthly bill down.

RE: Reuse Your Dehumidifier's Water

I would be VERY careful about that water. My booklet that came along with my humidifier said that the water should be considered toxic and to be disposed of properly. It even said to wash your hands after emptying the container.

I don't know if I would use it on my plants, especially if you are using it on a garden. (08/13/2008)

Some people need to run a dehumidifier in their house. Don't dump the water down the drain when it is time to empty it.

If you use a dehumidifier, the water that is collected from that can be used to water plants.
