What to do with RODI waste???
 

So I installed my new RODI system this week and currently I have it draining into the floor drain in my basment.

Seeing as I have deep pockets and short arms, I dont like the thought that I am wasting all that water.

I am looking for suggestions for what to do with that water besides putting down the drain.

I had thought of sending outside to my rainbarrels to be used in the yard, but that wont work in the winter.

What does everyone else do?

Garden summer, toilets winter. I have several large plastic barrels in the basement for keeping it during the winter. Some folks also use it in their washers, but I have front loading which use very little water, so not feasible for me.

if you have plants, water them with your waste. but we used it for our washer.

i use my waste water for the washing machine

How do you use it for toilets

I run a small black 3/4" line outside to my trees for the summer. I move the line every week to a different tree. In the winter I can't find an easy feasible solution yet, except as an occasional top-up for my hot-tub.

I am too lazy to use in winter, but in the summer I have it going outside to a big 45 gallon drum.

Perfect to water the garden with water that has already run through carbon, and doesn't have chlorine in it!

I use it for topping off my hot tub. But I also let it go down the drain, I am on a pressurized septic field so in effect i am watering my lawn with it.

Thanks for the ideas.

We have a front loader so the washing machine idea is a no go.

I do like the idea of some drip irrigation set up for the plants since we have plenty outside.

I recall seeing someone who tapped it into thier hotwater tank, but have yet to figure out how it would not overflow it.
