Will it affect sterility? No - why would it?
Will it affect your autoclave? No - it’s been distilled

But your water purifier might not be overly happy with it and maybe shorten its life span! Mop the floors with it or use it to water plants :)

We collect the waste water and use it in mop buckets to wash the floor, considered re purifying it but could not get straight answer out of autoclave manufactures as to if this was ok or not..

A better option may be to use that used water to soak the next lot of instruments.

I don't have any knowledge about this but it sounds like a good way to cut down on the amount of water wastage. Will be interested to see what people say.
