Wouldn't that pull all the dirt and bacteria in the air into the water? I have emptied the dehumidifier before and the water looks pretty nasty.

Sorry that this doesn't seem to be a good option for you. Yours might be a different type of dehumidifier. Ours is one you can move about (if you like lifting, pushing heavy things) and has a filter to keep the dust out. I hooked a hose to it and put it on top of the dryer and have the water going directly into a watering can or bucket. The water comes out clear. I did worry about mold spores but haven't had any trouble. Unless we have snow to melt or rain waters the plants, this is where I get my plant water. Our tap water is softened 'hard water' and even my non-orchids don't thrive in it. Hope someone else has some suggestions. Good luck!

Start collecting your rain water now Cody Get one of those big barrels to sit under your eaves trough.
