dehumidifier draining into indoor pond?

Pott Oct 23, 2003 10:24 AM

I have a 300 gal. indoor pond which evaporates at a prettty good rate.I run a dehumidifier which fills evry day.I was wondering if I could run a drain line directly into pond instead of holding tank in unit which needs to be manually dumped daily.Is the water from the unit clean enough.My pond is filtered with a fluval 403 and is approx. 150 gallons of water and works fine.Help me out on this one if you feel very confident answering.Thanks

Bad idea - The waste water from a dehumidifier is not as pure as you may think and should not be used for drinking/animals. I understand that it has high concentrations of aluminum from the cooling rings.
