New RODI filter saves a lot ofwater

[thysrof]

Just bought a Bulk Reef Supply 150 gal per day RODI filter. It's works with 2 membranes and cuts down the waste water produced by 50% by making the tank water much faster. I do run the waste line to the pool so I've been using the waste water, but it will definately cut down use over the long term.

Love that system. I have it and love it.

Good use of the "waste water" Bob.

Yah it's great to use the waste water for the pool, but in the winter without the rain and evaporation for the heat I don't need to put water in the pool so it really does get wasted.

Another use for "waste" water is a vegetable garden. I run the wastewater out to a water collection barrel, and use that to water my vegetable garden.

I have collected my ro/di waste in a 32g Brute and then pumped it to the veggies in back with a hose through the livingroom. Not being married I can get away with stuff like that.

I have the same RODI unit and love it as well. I store my 'waste' water in an old sump and fuge, and a blue 50 gallon barrel, and I use it for the laundry. A FULL load of laundry uses almost 30 gallons of water, about 15 for wash cycle and another 15 for rinse. I set my alarm to let me know before the rinse cycle starts so I beat the autofill from the house plumbing.

i have just discovered a second and third leaking part on the new RO unit from BRS. I'm sure they will send replacement parts, but 3 different failed new parts. Suprising
