Can I use the water that my dryer collects for soap?
Is it better than filtered water?

I don’t know what type of water a dryer collects, but I would think it would be hard to say what the make up is of that water. I’ve never heard of a dryer collecting water though, so I couldn’t answer that for sure.

I use tap water in my soapmaking, as we have very good water.

It's a condenser dryer, it collects and condenses the hot air and makes it into water

Oh, ok. That water would contain the same makeup as the water that was in the clothes- it wouldn't be anything like distilled water which is water that has all minerals and ions removed. It would be the same as the water in the wash.
