Problem

[InAtTheDeepEnd]

I sustained a head injury a little less than a week ago and am currently unable to drive, but I have (as of last night) run out of RODI to top up the evaporation in my reef.

I have access to water from a dehumidifier but I don't know if it's ok to use?

 

Or any other suggestions what I could use please

I probably wouldn't use the dehumidifier's water.  Can you get groceries delivered?  For a reef tank, I'd buy distilled water (or RO drinking water, if distilled isn't an option).

While not ideal, and depending on how good your tap water is, you could potentially use dechlorinated tap water.

Sorry to hear about your injury.  I hope that you are doing alright, and feel better soon.

Get better soon. 🌺

Get well soon! Have you tried calling around your local fish stores and tank servicing businesses? Most will deliver RODI.

I wouldn't use tap water in the Midlands it's about 1 part water 10 parts brick.  Seriously it's pretty poor... Get a Tesco delivery of  distilled water.... And a few tins of fosters lager for the bad head 👍🏼👍🏼

[Admonition]

I agree with what others have said about getting a grocery delivery or maybe a LFS delivery. You can even try food delivery apps like DoorDash down here in Florida will stop just about anywhere (to include convenience stores and gas stations which have distilled water) 
 

feel better!

If you don't have any delivery services available, got a neighbor you're on good terms with? Could pay someone a few bucks to bring you some distilled or RO water when they do their next grocery run.

Most dehumidifiers use (or used to) copper coils.  If yours is NOT METALLIC then the water should be fine in the reef.  THat's a big "IF" though.  Be sure.

 

Otherwise, use any water you have, even tap water.  We're only talking in the short term, after all.....just don't want heaters or pumps to run exposed.

 

What is your longer term plan?

And how's your noggin healing!!!!???
