HVAC condensate is a viable alternative source of water for reuse, with which caution:

May contain high levels of bacteria
Can be very acidic
May have high particulate levels
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: A - The process by which HVAC condensate is generated can intensify the existence of bacteria. One of the most dangerous culprits is Legionella, which has been responsible for many deaths from Legionnaires’ disease. Untreated HVAC condensate should never be used in applications in which humans may breathe in spray or vapor from it. Otherwise, HVAC condensate is similar to distilled water and is neither acidic nor does it contain particulates.
