1️⃣

Save Water & Be Eco-Friendly

Using AC drain water reduces dependence on fresh water and promotes water conservation — an essential step in sustainable living.

2️⃣

It’s 100% Free

AC condensate water is a byproduct of cooling. Instead of letting it go to waste, reuse it and save on water bills without any extra cost.

3️⃣

Soft Water with No Stains

This water is naturally soft and low in minerals, making it perfect for cleaning glass, windows, and cars without leaving spots or scale.

4️⃣

Ideal for Humid Regions

ACs in humid climates can collect 10–20 liters per day. Reusing this volume daily means significant water savings over time.

5️⃣

Safe for Non-Edible Plants

AC water can be used for lawns, ornamental plants, or trees that don’t require drinking-quality water — saving fresh water for other uses.

6️⃣

Good for Household Cleaning

Use it for mopping floors, washing balconies, cleaning cars or driveways — especially where clean drinking water isn’t necessary.

7️⃣

Supports a Zero-Waste Lifestyle

Repurposing this often-wasted water helps reduce environmental impact and contributes to responsible resource management.

1️⃣

Possible Contamination

AC water may pass over dirty coils or ducts and pick up dust, rust, or mold, making it unsafe for certain uses.

2️⃣

Not Safe for Drinking

This water is not sterile and may contain microbes, bacteria, or fungi — never use it for drinking, cooking, or hygiene.

3️⃣

Chemical Residue Risk

If your AC unit was recently cleaned with chemical sprays or anti-rust coatings, the discharge water may contain harmful residues.

4️⃣

Storage Issues

If left standing too long, stored AC water can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, algae, and bad odor.

5️⃣

Unfit for Sensitive Equipment

Using untreated AC water in humidifiers, irons, or aquariums can damage equipment or harm pets due to unseen impurities.

6️⃣

Improper Handling Can Cause Dampness

Letting water pool near the foundation or on floors may result in algae growth, leakage, or structural damp issues.

7️⃣

Lack of Proper Filtration Setup

Many homes lack the filters or tanks needed to make condensate water safe for multipurpose reuse, limiting its usability.
