Dehumidifier water, ok to use?

What??? What chemicals. Water vapor in the air condenses on cold aluminum coils, then drips into a plastic bucket. The same way water forms on the outside of a cold beverage can, then runs down the sides. I guess the aluminum coils would oxidize over time and aluminum oxide could be in the water, that's about it. If the bucket isn't covered, then whatever mold spores or dust is in the air could settle in the bucket, the same way it would settle on an uncovered fish tank.

Any sprays or like odor eliminator or windex etc are floating around the air in particle form which in turn is turned into liquid. Trust me I work in a rental company and that is a problem with our dehumidifiers. We have had people pump the water outside into flower beds and then a week later all is dead.
