I was talking to a woman the other day, who is an experienced gardener. She was telling me how well all her plants responded to the water from the dehumidifier. So, I decided to test the water from my dehumidifier. All dehumidifiers are not the same and I'm having a little problem from my pH meter at the moment, so if any out there has a dehumidifier & a pH meter, please check yours and post it, if you don't mind.
Heres what I got
Tap water...E.C. 0.2 (If I let it sit overnight, still lucky to get 0.1)
pH. 7.5-7.8 (not 100% confident in pH meter but pretty close)
Water form dehumidifier....E.C. 0.0
pH. 7.0-7.2 (like I said before pH meter may be a
little off.
I was wondering if it is safe to water my plants with this water?
Just remember to clean out the dehumidifier tray....mine had a buildup of sawdust that lowered pH to 6.1-6.3.
