    Has anyone used water from a dehumidifier to make up for evaporation?

    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Marty,
    I never thought of doing that. I would certainly look very closely at the guts of the machine. Make sure there is no copper tubing involved in the process.
    Just my $.02

    I don't have all the answers. I do know the One that does. He has created live rock, corals & tangs for me to enjoy.

    The evaporation coil is made out of aluminum tubing. Does anyone know if aluminum is inert?

    Just sounds like a bad idea to me. Who knows what all will end up in the water.

    i was going to do this but then i thought. all that dust and weird stuff floating in the air would get trapped to evaporated water. then end up in the machine. and i dont know about yours but mine has all copper coils witch gave me enough reason not to try it.
