Default Water question AC condensate?

Can the condensate from an air conditioner be use to water a garden? We have
drought problems, but the AC unit puts out a lot of condensate. I've heard
both yes and no, but no explaination..


Yes. It is distilled water, with traces of copper, plus maybe lead,
silver, dust, cottonwood fuzz (etc), or oil from the condensor coils and
compressor. I wouldn't drink it, but it probably has fewer impurities
than your tap water or soil and should be fine for your garden.
