This is fun, thank you! I wonder why home HVAC units couldn't just capture the drain water to accomplish something similar for "free".

The condensate water is laden with bacteria, mold spores, and pollution concentrated from the air. It can definitely be filtered and sterilized, but in water scarce environments you usually can't pull enough water from the air to be worth it.

		Side-tangent, but this reminded me of the health nightmare that the incredibly common “kinetic mist” style humidifiers/vaporizers are. I think there may be a general lack of understanding to how pollution and bacteria concentrate in our daily environments.
