Calcium Chioride in dehumidifier

[tigershark]

hi all, I've been using those disposable dehumidifier to reduce the humidity of my room ....Until recently, I found that the ingredient labeled on the container stated that it is Calcium Chioride . The calcium chioride in the dehumidifier looks like small white colour stone....

each unit of dehumidifier could asorb ard 500ml of water from the air. The calcium chioride will "melted" , then turn into liquid and flow into the bottom of the container.

I was wondering, can I drip these "waste" into my tank to increase the calcium in my water?

I'm not trying to be too "gau keng" , just that if these "waste" could be recycled, i dun see why not?

any other comment? anyone did it before? manybe someone who used to topup their calcium level using calcium chioride? how did you huy use it? same method as calcium hydroxide?

You don't know what else is in with that Calcium chloride goop in the dehumidifier. Be careful.

Calcium chloride solution can be dosed directly into the tank without much ill effect except for the build up of chloride over time resulting in ionic inbalances. It does not replenish alkalinity like calcium hydroxide.

heh heh.. that thought also crossed my mind before... but after some reading . i found out that stuff in there is somewhere lower than technical grade stuff.. which means its too "dirty" to be used... at your own risk~!!!

Why not just use kalkwasser...not as if it is extremly expensive.
