My condenser TD has a drawer that collects water (5KG of it!) that needs to be emptied.
Apart from watering plants (I don't have any, I kill them all
), what else can I use this water for?
Living in an area where water bills are VERY high, I hate to see 5KG of water go down the drain every week...any ideas what I could do with it?

you can also use it in your iron and in your car.
It is apparently distilled water but apart from watering plants this is the only uses I know of0 -
Flush the toilet - I know it's STILL going 'down the drain' but at least it'll be fulfilling another 'function' without adding to your water bill
.
- oops, looks like I cross posted with the two previous posters.

I don't iron
That's a swear word in my house
Flushing the loo with it may be a good idea, thanks0 -
the cost of using the tumble dryer would be considerably more expensive than 5 litres of tap water ( about 1 pence)!!
