This feels like a silly question but I am using electricity to extract the water from the air, I wonder if there is something to do with the water?

Watering plants, maybe?

Maybe the better question is: are there risks?

    At a bare minimum make sure you check and adjust the pH, but yes it can be done.

    The main issue is that the water in the dehumidifier is a potential carrier of anything that was in the air at your home. Just be mindful that you aren’t creating a transport mechanism for mold or bacterial spores and your plants won’t mind.

    If you’re concerned about it the water can be used for ornamental plants rather than edible ones.
