Is water from a condenser clothes dryer usable?

Hi guys,
I have a clothes dryer that condenses the water from the wet clothes. Is this safe to use on plants?
Thanks
Ed

Is that a joke ?

Nope. Isn't it the same as distilled water?

In a way I get what you mean but won't the clothes have chemicals in from the washing machine? PH|EC before and after see what happens

Thanks for your suggestion. What is EC? I have to use mineral water on my plants as I live in a large city and just wondered if there might be any way to cut costs. Mineral water is expensive in my country.

Fair play to you thinking outside the box, but I wouldn't risk it.

Is your water THAT hard that you can't use it? EC is the measurement of how many dissolved nutrients your water has it in. If you live in a hard water area, you'll have a higher EC out the tap, than someone that lives in a soft water area.

Buy/Borrow an EC meter and see what your tap water's is.

Thanks Doubie. The water we have hear is largely undrinkable so I wouldn't risk giving it to my plants. I'll stick with paying for mineral water.
Peace.

Would you drink it?

Personally, I think it's probably OK to use on plants, but I might test it on just one (and a non-cannabis one, at that) first to find out.

you must use RO system to refine your dryer water at least contains : 1 pp filter,1 Granular carbon , 1 Carbon block and 1 membrane ( use Filmtech membrane it's good) . store your water and pump it into your water refinery system.but first calculate its cost but if you do that you can drink it's water.
