Re: Dehumidified water

["the dude" <theoutlaw_torn@hotmail.com>]

Mike,

The collection bucket is plastic, but the metal tubes that are really cold 
that collect the water look to be some kind of metal that is silver in 
colour.
I thought it would be a good source of low PH declorinated water if I could 
just use the water that is in the collection bucket.
I think I could put the DH up high and put an over flow on hte bucket that 
leads into a huge barrel. And then I never have to change the bucket, just 
take water out of the barrel for my water changes.
Is that okay?
Is there going to be harmful metals if the collection bucket isnt metal?
thanks
coby
(sorry about my grammar, I just got off a plane and the tranqs havent worn 
off yet :-)
