Most dehumidifiers will produce clean enough water for use with flytraps but just to be on the safe side you should get a TDS meter to test if the water is below 50 ppm. I have personally had a bad experience with dehumidifiers as my plants didn't seem to agree with the water it produced even though it only had a reading of 20 ppm........

It affected all of my plants but I'm pretty sure it was only the dehumidifier, it's an old one and had been collecting dust for quite a while before I cleaned it
