thats kinda what i was thinking...I have the exact same question. It's essentially distilled, no?
outwest
that could cause some problems rite?Yes distilled but it can leach out aluminum and copper out of the heat exchanger. I would check E.C. with a meter. Any ppms would be the metals from the exchanger.
in a good way..like adding some bennies on top of that....or the bad way..intrducing bad inoculants that fuck shit upIt is distilled, and then whatever airborne pathogens are redeadily available get added in unopposed for dessert.
i think i will just dump it out...not worth the trouble imoYes having heavy metals can cause problems. Older ac's are more prone than new ac's. But Pathogens and bad bacteria a simple solution would be a little bit of clorox bleach. Or heat to a minimum 140 degrees.
I've wanted to diy something like this myself, but got talked out of it for reason I mentioned above. Are you using just a tiny amount of bleach, so small that plants don't care? Or do you mean that you let it gas off first? Suppose you could also maybe use h2o2, but I don't wanna kill my microbes.I have a homemade Ice box like hydro innovations that drains directly back in my system with no problems. Like what was mentioned a key is disinfect the ac periodically and drain water frequently. My exchanger was brand new with a hydrophobic coating so I have no issues.
Yeah makes sense, figured it must be sterile res, maybe could do an aerated holding tank to let chlorine out, or UV/ozone I guess? Anybody else with reclaim water recycling strategies?I use a sterile res and only bringing up a couple of ppm of the chlorine. Like a cap full over 30 to 40 gallons of water. Every 5 days or if a funk arises.
