its basically condensate water...but since it went thru metal parts...it may not be safe.

Anyway the amount is small (dripping) so it may not make much different to tank's volume.

Can consider using rain water instead.

Suggest you take a closer look into your collected water. Check for smell or oil film.

PUB water costs about $1.2 for 1000L. The pail maybe is around 15-20L?

You will save around 3 cents for that 1.5 pail of water. Considering the costs of construction, piping and operation, you cannot save any money but will in fact cost you more.

The condense should be relatively clean to use depending on yr aircon maintenance.
