Atmosphere is typically at 60% humidity. The water has to go somewhere. Mix it with 50,000 cubic feet volume of dusty air every hour and you grow stuff Anthony Fauci would feed to Beagles. Not everything is complicated.
Have you ever heard of winter? Perhaps northern climates?
The don’t think so, Tim.

> Just plumb your condensate into the sanitary drain stack vent as code typically requires, or plumb a drain line out to your garden away from the house. Install a lift pump if you must for $50.<
Those are good suggestions. But, a municipality that requires this crap may not let you do that.
I put in a pool and the city required that all area drains must drain to the street, which was uphill from the pool. The inspector told me I had to install an expensive lift pump that would dump the water 5 feet from a culvert, that emptied into a drainage ditch that ran immediately next to my fenceline 20 feet from the pool.
After I said, “wouldn’t it make more sense to just run the drain pipe downhill 20 feet to the drainage ditch”, it was like a lightbulb went off in he head and he agreed that this was a better idea. I saved well over $1000 in parts and labor.

The problem is the water *IN* the hot water tank that you use in the house. The hot water tank never gets warm enough to kill the legionella bacteria just like in the cooling towers at the hotel where legionella got its name.
