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.

the condensation is mainly drip down from the coil into the drain pan..

Ac unit aka Fan coil suck in atmosphere air + dirt in system as a air circulation.

So when the condensation appear it bascially also carry the dirt down into the drain pipe.

So unless you have a filter that is having mirco the water is unlikely pure.

Also another think to consider although specialist say it will unlikely but the coil is copper so there might be a accumulative of copper in long long turn that is.

My own 2 cents

My air con waste water actually drips into my FGT placed in my balcony everyday so far no problem and it has been like this for 3-4 years already. Maybe it's because i have a large enough FGT (which is 5x4x2.5ft) so that the small amount of waste water that eventually trickles in doesn't matter much even if it's toxic.
