I considered using the water collected by my portable air conditioning unit once. Got a copper test kit & good thing I did. Tested the water & it was positive for copper.

NEVER use condensate for anything eaten. (eg ingestion, fish, non edible plants should be fine)
I've used my TDS meter on some from my air conditioner, RO = 0, tap = 12-16, AC drippings = hundreds.

The heat exchanger works best without protective coating so it's straight metal to air contact I'm guessing.
