Judy -

    I wouldn't use the water in the dehumidifier, even though it's been
    'distilled' (free from dissolved salts). Main reason: commercially
    distilled water is (very probably) made in clean conditions, with
    equipment designed to reduce or remove organisms, and it's put into
    (very probably) clean containers. I doubt anyone's dehumidifier is
    that clean. Just imagine all the stuff that might grow in
    there...it's open to the atmosphere, never gets disinfected, etc. 

    It isn't clean enough to drink, so I wouldn't use it in a pickle
    pot. The plants might love it, though! 

best regards,
Kelley
