*I am going to preface the post with the fact that I know next to nothing about RO/DI filters and have never seen one in person so this may end up being a really stupid question*
I have been reading alot on here about the "waste" water that an RO/DI unit produces, not really waste because its useful in other application. As I was sitting at work today I got thinking about ways to efficiently use that waste water without having it go into a bucket or other means of capture but rather have it plumped directly back into the houses plumbing to be used wither when doing the dishes or taking a shower etc. etc. essentially running your entire house water needs on an waste RO/DI water. For a family that would probably not work as the water consumption is just to high but for a single guy like myself I think it might be possible.
Assuming that I am planning on running a 125-150 gallon DT with an ATO setup like I have seen some other do on here, is it efficient or worthwhile to plump your water line directly to the RO/DI unit make the water for the tank and then have the waste water run back into the plumbing to be used throughout the rest of the house?
