I think George said it all. The pH indicates that you may have more than
dissolved CO2 in it, for that should only push it down to about 6.2 or so.
I'd be inclined to use it with caution, or not at all. With a bit of room
dust organics, you have a wonderful bacteria-culturing machine going.
Good RO units aren't that expensive, and the bypass water is quite usable
for fish tanks or drip irrigation systems. I've never been tempted to use
rain water, for similar reasons to what George mentioned about dehumidifier
water. Mine's too dirty.
