Saving water could be a very good first step for the human kind , and growers too. Over here the state already asked to every one to save water, we haven't had enough rain this whole year. The amount of water that came out from my ac is near 0. Drought!:(
Do you use the A/C water? I don't have the balls. I remember someone saying stuff about slime. Not sure what slime, just got scared. Dehue water too, I'm scared of.

That barrel fills up every day with the very same reclaim water you're afraid of. It works awesome.

The contaminants folks are concerned about only matter if the water is allowed to sit for long periods- something it doesn't get to do around here.

You have a lot of options I think for a pretty quick sterillization. Something I remember being nicknamed a sulfur bomb is the first thing to come to mind besides just a good physical cleaning. Wtf if mold any way, why do I even own a towel, life in colorado.

I got a 14k btu a/c w dehue. On rainy days the a/c collects some water out of the room, but overall there is no water. Humidity levels around 35~45% in a attic. Didn't notice any slime growth so far, the water that drains out of the reservoir is clean I would drink that shit. lol

Its not a rdwc issue. Like I was saying, your equipment is new...and clean. Those air handlers will eventually get dirty. That dirt is what could contaminant your condensate.
what is this dirt made of? like algae green/ brown ? Gotta be a system flush some how to avoid contaminants.

The dirt is everything in the air...dust mostly but the concern is if water can sit in the device. Like in a collection pan before theres enough to drain or all of it never drains. Lots of maybes and ifs but legionnaires is real.

It gets mixed into nutrient solution, then poured into substrate. No one is drinking it, snorting it or putting it in their cocktails.

I'll read up on legionnaires disease just to be sure I'm covering my bases.

Water is no joke,like tty said, water poses harm only if it is left for a long period of time like stagnant, put under hid lights u ll see green within a bit. Other than that I would re use the water no worries. The thing we dont know 4 sure is, could the gadget be a host disease in a mid term?
and yes I would re use the water

The gadget is a host for disease, specially when you consider its an air handler for a moble home and tt has twelve kids snotting, shiting and pissing all over the place.
