It is summer and the use of refrigerators is almost necessary to survive the heat of the city, these appliances drip water, but have you ever wondered what use can be given?
The maintenance technician Gustavo Herrera in an interview with us will explain.
I just wanted to let you know that this water is not for human or animal consumption. It would be best to send it to the drain, if you don’t mind!
There are companies that use this water in common areas where the vegetation is of the desert, that is, plants that are not for ornamental purposes.
One way to take advantage of this water is to water the soil or wash the car, again clarifying that it is not safe to use it as food.
“You can wash the car because you put soap in it, but that’s as far as it goes,” he shares.
This water is from moisture condensation due to the temperature change on evaporator surfaces, it is created in copper pipes and the reaction it causes in these together with aluminum is harmful.
Some companies use it to fill toilet tanks and thus give them use, but this is given a chemical treatment, in which they use equipment of more than 100 tons.
