PLumbing Q's

[PotHuntR]

I want to figure out a better way to hook up my RODI waste line to the waste line of my sink/disposal/dishwasher. How Do I do it and want unit do I hook it up to?

 

[Off The Deep End]

I have also heard that alot of people use the waste water to wash there clothes if thats an option for you. HTH

No laundry room. Kitchen sink is all I really have. Maybe the bathroom put I want a permanent place for the waste line. Not just shoving it down the drain every time I turn it on

I thought that would only work on supply Line. Thats great. Will have to look into that more

Mike, Drill a 1/4" hole in the P trap and push the 1/4" drain line in that then silicone the hole around the line.

What about back flow into my filtration system? That was my concern. Is that not a concern I should have?

 

[murfman]

If the RO/DI unit is higher than the drain line, back flow won't be an issue. If it is lower than the drain line, the only back flow will be if the P trap fills up. It still would be on the outside of the membranes.

I'd be putting a check valve on it just in case. I'd be concerned with vapor more than water so I'd go above the trap and below the sink drain.

Do you have a dishwasher? If so you might be able to use that drain. Newer houses have an open ended drain for the dishwasher. It looks like an air vent for the plumbing, but it is where you put the drain for the dishwasher.
