What do you do with your waste water?

[mchud]

I run mine into my 2 koi ponds and my holding tanks for koi in my basement. I never waste it.

Everything on my systen that can be removed and cleaned is put in a 10-1 bleach wash/soak. Filter socks, nets, tools, intakes, sand( I have three batches that continually rotate), pre filters, filter pads etc. Once I start making ro/di, whatever is ready gets rinsed off with a hose then goes in a bucket over my floor drain with the waste discharge tube. This gurantees me clean and refreshed equipment. I make 150 gal at a time so theres plenty of waste water to get rid of any residual bleach.

I bought a RO/DI unit that comes with a booster pump and only puts out about 1.25 gallons of wastewater for each gallon of pure water. The wastewater goes into a 32 gallon Brute trashcan on wheels that I can roll close to my top-loading washing machine. Soon, I will set up a large pump and tube to pump directly from the trashcan into the washer. Right now, I'm still loading the water with buckets.

There is no such thing as waste water in my world. It ALL gets used.

Sell the RO, and use the money to get a Kold Ster-il, no waste water, and it doesn't take 2 hours to fill a 5 gallon bucket. My .02

For my 300 gallon system, I make RODI water in batches once a week. While I make water, I stick the waste water tube in the washing machine and do laundary. When all's said and done, no water goes to waste.

I do the same thing. My system volume is only around 53g though. I make water as I wash clothes throughout the week. My RO/DI is installed next to my washer, so as I make water the waste hose goes into the washer. I have had the privilege of overflowing my washer though:lmao:

Floor drains in the basement are beautiful things!

Run into the washing machine. Then wash your clothes.

I'm lucky enouph to live in portland Oregon, water is great here out of the tap, only 8 to 15 TDS out the tap so I dont use a RO membraine, I use a 5 stage filter, sedimant, carbon, 2 DI chambers and a phosphate chamber, no waste water for me

Same here! We do a lot of laundry at our house.
I feel better that it's not being wasted down the drain

siphon into buckets then dump outside

 

[hllywd]

Right now mine goes to the drain. In the spring I intend to run it to a couple 55 gallon plastic drums. From there I have an old PCX40 I intend to control with a timer to water our flowers via some drip irrigation plumbing.
