Distilled water and steam presses

[jjaammeess]

Hii I wonder if anybody knows if the water from dehumidifiers is distilled water and is it suitable for use in: steam presses. Thanks for answers

yes it is pure provided that your dehumidifier collecting pot is clean and there is only water in the air (eg no paint fumes which would dissolve in the water) I have used water from our air conditioner in my iron

It is not pure in the scientific sense because it will contain a very small amount of dust and bacteria, but what you want is water which does not contain dissolved minerals which would deposit on the steam generator and eventually block it up and for this use the de-humidifier water is completely acceptable.
