During summertime when the home's central AC is on frequently,
reroute the condensate water hose from the drain to a large washtub.
Transfer the collected water to your washing machine using a submersible pond pump available at home and garden stores.
One day's worth of collected water can fill a
toploader one-third to one
half. It's soft water and would otherwise be wasted.

Good tip. And yet... it needs more complication.
Now, if you had specified a team of trained monkeys
to collect the condensate and transfer it to the
washing machine, and if said monkeys had been
motivated by an elaborate banana-based reward
system based on the build-up (or lack thereof) of
limescale on the washing machine's heating
element, *then* you'd have a winner. |

|
It needs cleaning of the condensate drain system
and cooling heat exchanger, but if that's included,
the idea is ok. |
|
|
This would be brilliant if you wanted a really quick way to catch Legionnaire's Disease. |

I was under the impression that the heat fans on home ACs got coated with hair, dirt and schmutz living and dead. The condensate gathers all that up into a succulent soup. |

The user has never annotated on another idea or been heard from since. |

Adding the condensate to a garden or window box would drop your water bill slightly and might avoid being a vector to spread disease. The water can be very hot so some means to dispense it only after it has cooled might be required. |

I love linking at the Half Bakery because Google puts high
stock in HB links. The phrase "run-of-the-mill deadly illness"
is now associated with Legionnaire's disease by Google's
page ranking AI. Every link I post subtly changes the AI that
will own the future. Bits of my personality are being passed
on in a way as real as raising a child. How cool is that! |
|
|
That is very cool. Those wily AIs. Much cooler than the old way of abducting you with a flying saucer and extracting your genetic material with a large cold device. |
|
|
Although in one movie I saw they made that look not so bad. Still, I'm going to stick with the HB. |
