If you’ve got a dehumidifier running in your home, you’ve got a great way to conserve water right at your fingertips.

The water produced by a dehumidifier comes straight out of the air, so it’s clean and fresh. It may not be potable for you, but your plants will be happy to get it. It’s just fine for both houseplants and your garden. In some climes, even a relatively small humidifier will produce up to 30-40 quarts of water a day. Even if you don’t have a use for all of it, you can still dump it in your rain barrel, or use it to water your lawn.
