A/C Condensation Used for Plants

Question

I was wondering if the water that comes from the air conditioning condenser coils is harmful when used in gardening? Our home A/C unit produces about 10 gallons of water per day during the summer, and I have been collecting it and using it to water a satsuma tree and a cantaloupe plant. Should I be concerned about any kind of contamination or harmful effects in the fruit?

Answer 1

Air conditioner condensation water is almost the same as rain water. They both come from the moisture in the air. So you are doing fine. I use the moisture from our window units for my roses.
