We have one of those condensing driers that produces A LOT of water
(we have a five person household). The problem is that the water in
the condenser tank accumulates dust (very, VERY tiny fluff from the
clothes) and from the fresh smell I suppose it also has a minimal
content of detergent and/or fabric softener. Does anybody use that
water on CP? I fear this (although very low) content could be as
bad as fertilizer??? This water - when standing in a clear bottle -
produces algae. So it's far from "more or less distilled water" as
written in the manual and said above for dehumidified water. Now is
it the dust or is it the detergent that's bad - if bad at all?
Best regards, Stefan.
