Running a new dehumidifier near my tank to control odor and moisture. Can the water be used for ATO water? Or is this just going to wreak havoc?

I wouldnt... any airborne contaminants will be in the condensate.

Not worth the risk

believe water condenses on aluminum plates inside a dehumidifier so might have heavy metals leaching into it.

It may also have exposed metal internally that leaches copper etc.
