I just don’t trust my random chinese amazon brand dehumidifier’s internals to be totally food-safe. At the very least the water is condensing onto some unknown (to me) metal, touching some mystery plastics.

It was a peak ~700W device, and quite efficient for its price. It’d produce a few gallons overnight in summer in southern california when attached to a rather large battery.

Dehumidifier water in general isn't safe for consumption.

But if you pour that water onto a plant, and then you eat the fruit or vegetables of that plant, is it safe?

I meant acid rain and contaminated water probably lands on crops all the time.

Probably not a bigger risk than using a no-name mug?
