I would also say if the AC line is cleaned regularly with chemical cleaners then It would not be good for the animals.

It's OK for dogs, who drink from dirty puddles anyway.

I would not suggest a person drink it since bacteria can grow in the system.
Ok just wanted to make sure, love my puppy!

I typically flush it after I clean it which I only do once a year. Unfortunately my dogs have access to it, which is why I keep it clean.

You should be good then. I use the waste water for washing clothes. I have a drain for my sump and auto water change to the outside. I dug a whole down to fit a 5 gal bucket, drilled a bunch of holes in the bucket, placed the bucket in the hole and filled the bucket with gravel for drainage. You could try this also.

Some of our customers use it for a variety of things such as pond water, watering flowers and ect.

the TDS is about 15-20% higher on the waste water since the membrane is rejecting all that and sending it down the drain.
