What can you do with water from a dehumidifier (aside from dumping it down the drain) that benefits the earth?
tennisguy asked:
Also, is water from a dehumidifier pure enough to drink? Or does it depend on the model…
It’s not just the electricity used, but also the fossil fuels burned to take more water out of a faucet that could’ve been taken from the dehumidifier. I know it’s insignificant, but over time it could save a lot, especially if, as with a lot of things like CFLs, everyone did it.

Do reverse osmosis water filtration systems use a lot of electricity?
Drew asked:
I was thinking about getting a reverse osmosis water filter for my condo. I was told that RO systems use a lot of electricity. From my understanding, RO systems use water pressure to pull the water through the filter membrane.

Do RO filters systems use a lot of electricity to pump the water through the filter membrane? Or is it just the pressure from the tap?
