Now you bring this up. I was always wondering so for a 98% rejection rate. If I am collecting 120 gallon of good water per month. Does that mean i waste 6000 gallon of water(well i tried to use some for watering plant)


Hahah good idea Kien, if you are getting those new Koralias, sell me your Tunze 6105s ok?

my $500 includes gas/water/electricity and I only have one 155 tank going. Before, it was a little bit under $300 without the tank

You certainly are not tossing that much water. The R/O membrane is rejecting 98% of the dissolved solids, not the water. Depending on the pressure of the feed, your getting anywhere from 2:1 (Waste/product) to 10:1 ratio. I run very high PSI and dual membrane in paralelle so my waste is actually lower than 2:1.

Condo life is the way to go. I lucked out and my condo fees pays ALL the bills (except internet/cable, but in many condos electricity is not included) so my bill is $0. I still try to conserve energy but I didn't sweat at all when I decided to get my tank.
