Water from condenser tumble dryer

[Todaysanewday]

What do you do with the water from your condenser tumbler dryer? I have tried using it in my iron but it has fluffy bits in so I'm worried about blocking it up. It seems a waste to pour it down the sink.

Water the garden with it

House plants

If you want to use it in your iron you could put a paper coffee filter set inside a sieve.

I used to do that but then I realised that I was creating paper waste to save water waste and to be honest I had no idea which was better or worse.

Plumb it in if you can.

Garden. The birds will make nests with the fluffy bits . Ahhhh.

Plumb it in if you can.

People normally have condenser driers because they can't plumb in a conventional drier. We have one because it can't go against an outside wall. I empty it onto the garden.

My plants, especially venus fly traps and sundew who dont like tap water.

I had a condenser because I didn’t want a whacking great hole in the wall.

I drilled a hole into the side of the cupboard & attached the hose to the utility room sink.

Adding to the chorus - I pour it on my plants which are just outside the laundry door.

Keep it in a bucket to wash dogs feet and legs off after a walk

When I last bought a tumble dryer there were very few non condenser dryers for sale. I thought they had been phased out ? I don't think you can attach a hose to my tumble dryer, the whole design is that the water collects in the front of the door of the dryer.

I strain the water through a clean cloth or teatowel into a jug then use it in the iron.

I have a new heat pump tumble dryer which acts as a condenser or there is also the option to plumb it in. So yes they are still on the market

We had that drawer thing but my husband plumbed it in so it goes down the drain now.

Just remember that the water will contain residue chemicals from the wash, especially if you use a conditioner. I wouldn't use it on vegetables.

ifailed beat me too it! I use on non-edible plants, hardy plants. I don't use it on anything we'll eat or anything delicate.
Coffee grinds on the other hand …

Thanks for all your suggestions. I might try straining it to use in the iron. 😀
