<p>The condensing fins in your AC unit are likely made of some reactive metal. The condensation has likely been in contact with it for a very short time however a prolonged usage of this water even with small trace amounts of these metals can build up in your AP system over time. I would use that for potted plants or something else. It MAY be safe for the AP system but is it worth the risk of killing your fish?</p>
