plant-care Probably a dumb question: Using water from a dehumidifier?

I keep a grow tent in my office, and I have enough plants that I need a dehumidifier to keep the wallpaper from peeling.
 
This thing pulls in a liter of water every couple days. It's obviously now dechlorinated, and I'm not sure what it would possibly pick up between going into the plants and evaporating... does anyone use water from a dehumidifier for watering, or know of any reason that using it to water would be a bad idea?

That would be condensed water you have there.
You pay extra for it at the store.

Nor are these the droids you're looking for. But we work with what we have, right?
