Wastewater

[adamwheel]

kinda makes me sad to see all the people that just dump rodi reject water down the drain...haven't paid for the water in my washing machine for over 3 years.

Agree. My rejected RODI goes to a Brute trash can that has a uniseal overflow to laundry tub in case it overfills.

I have a remote button that turns the Sicce pump on in the brute and fills the washer. The wife even likes it.

I used to feel very guilty about all the water going down the drain.

I think it's also a good idea to check your waste ratio if you live someplace that has seasonal temp differences. My rodi got down to 6.5:1 before I noticed and contacted the manufacturer for help. Turns out that colder water passes the membrane easier. I've got a valve on now to get it back to 4:1, some people switch their flow restricters twice a year.

I feel bad that I was wasting almost twice as much water as necessary, but I'm glad I've got it fixed.

Everyone knows the best use of RODI wastewater is to brew beer. Really big tank? Brew lots of beer.

I think people got confused somewhere what this thread was originally about. It was about the saltwater wastewater from a water change NOT the wastewater from a RODI unit.

Hmmm, don't brew beer with that. Maybe brine a turkey?

I use it to kill weeds around the yard. Just as good as roundup and cheaper too!

Flush the saltwater. RODI waste water is fine for plants and lawn

RODI waste water will be going into the pool or to water the lawn, salt water flushed down the toilet.

Yep...I dump mine in the toilet or in the kitchen sink.
