Looks good (but I'd send the waste water to the yard or something)

Rental. No holes through these walls.

Doh! Been there. Actually there now However, I was lucky and was able to do garage hookups and snaked a 1/4" tube under the garage door.

I could do that... the laundry room has a door to the garage. But no plants there. Don't need a 200 ft. Line going all over. I do have a 15gal. Jug with a float switch that I can T off the drain. Good thinking!! I'll set that up tomorrow!

You could easily stick that waste water tube into the washing machine. I've done that for years. No waste water.

You should be sampling your TDS in 3 locations:
1. Tap water = 455 ppm
2. RO water = ???
3. DI water = 0

With the two readings you took you have no way of knowing how well the RO membrane is working.
