Default Water from air conditioner?

It's hot and the window A/C is running constantly. I can collect a

5-gallon
bucket of water dripping from the condenser about every other day. Would
this water be safe to use to top off the pond? It's clear, clean-looking
water, but I didn't know what might be in there that you can't see or

smell.
Any thoughts on the safety of using it? Would it hurt my fish?

I will admit that I did use it once before I put much thought into it. The
fish are fine, but wondered later about long-term.

I have a small, 60-gallon pond -- and yes, I have too many fish: one 6"
Comet and eight 2" goldfish. No filter yet, but my Fish Mate bio filter is
supposed to be here by Friday. Yay!

Thanks,
Angie


I'd be worried about metals in the water, Copper, Aluminum, Lead, etc.
