this may seem like a stupid question but in my science class my teacher said that the water that is collected in those air purifiers that remove moisture from the air is distilled water. is this true and can i use it to germinate some seeds or will it do something to them?

What's up kronik. I'm new to this site, as a matter of fact, I just got in today but.....
To answer your question: I've actually done that a few times I even used to take the water from my dh and use it to top off my res. I just wish I had a small enough garden to really appreciate a couple of gallons. LOL!

Go to tap..put water into container......let sit 2 days (evaporate chlorine)....and feed...............
Purifier......a unit that removes crap from air.................should we......
A) feed plant crappy, nicotine filled water to plant or seeds..good start .
B) Get real ?

I mean no disrespect twisty but here's an experiment. Take some water from your dh and then get some of your 2 day old tap and see which one has a lower EC. LOL LOL LOL! The great one has spoken!

Well think about how distillation works.
evaporate water then condense it back to water.

A DH is doing the second part and mother nature is doing the first part.

Now, with that said, the tank usually has some nasties in it from the stagnate water. The coils are usually aluminum (copper is too pricey these days) which can add salts to the mix.


And the ref to that the DH is dumping all the nasties in the air into the water, then rain water has the same issue with the air pollution.


Just condition your tap water or get distilled water or RO water.

What do I know ? I bow to your "vast" experience...

I don't know to much I guess. I really stupid, I think! I've only been growing probably longer than a couple of days. Lol This isn't a pissing contest. Just try my experiment and then see. I'm in an area where tap is nasty and not to mention how many thing they put in tap to clean and make it safe to drink. Its a lot more than chlorine. Who knows, you could be right but my tap was coming out at 600ppm and my dh was dropping it about 300 on the average. Maybe your some place where tap is perfect.

My TDS meter had written on the package that the TDS limit set by the EPA is 500 ppm for tap water. You might want to talk to someone unless you are using your own well I guess.
