Distilled water is  water that was vaporised then re-condensed back into
a liquid form, ergo, water from a de-humidifier or domestic air
conditioner is distilled water as it has been condensed from the vapor
form in the atmosphere. Condensate water works really well for distilled
water applications. However, it is not as pure as the distilled water
bought from the stores because it usually has contaminates in it like
dust and bacteria. For use in a Vanagon cooling system or in batteries
pass the water through a paper coffee filter to remove the physical
contaminants. Don't drink the stuff. It will still have bacteria in it.
