  • Is the water that is condensed in my tumble drier sufficiently distilled to use in a steam iron or steam cleaner? Thank you.

  • I use tap water and Kalstop

    The output of my condenser dryer comes down the same waste pipe as everything else, so it's mixed with dirt and detergent - I wouldn't put it in my steam cleaner.

  • PM me (and give me a bottle) and I can hook you up with some de-ionised water from a reverse osmosis filter. Perfect for irons/steam cleaners/looking cool on a shelf.

    Edit: same for you @mdcc_tester if you want.

  • A little late, but,
    if it it is a combined washer/condensing dryer,
    I agree with Tester,
    as who knows what the trickle of water has collected from the deposits on the inside surface of the waste pipe.
    If it is a standalone condensing tumble dryer, it should be free of minerals.
    I have used condensed tumble dryer water for both car coolant system topping up,
    (caution; I only own essentially fully depreciated nth hand cars),
    and
    in an 'espresso' coffee machine, (caution; I do not claim to have a discerning palette).

    Cars continue to run, coffee machine not yet sucumbed to the hard water of Three Valleys/Affinity.
