It’s the first time I own a dryer. When I poured out the water it has collected
(a few liters per run) I quickly tested the EC and pH and found out, that it is
almost identical to the one made by my reverse osmosis filter!
No wonder, since the dryer is basically just a big distillation machine. Thats
super neat. It will save me a lot of work filtering tap water. I will collect it
from now on and use it for watering my plants. ::: spoiler Why does it matter?
Plants really don’t like tap water. Even in a country like mine, where no
chlorine/ fluoride/ whatever is added, the dissolved minerals cause trouble.
They will build up over time and make nutrients unavailable, even if you adjust
the pH. The buildup and nutrient lockout will harm the plants a lot in the long
term, and you will have way more trouble checking and correcting EC and pH. :::
Doesn’t it have some amounts of detergent in it still? Maybe not much but can be enough to kill your plants.
