What do you do with your RO/DI waste water?

Down the drain here too, but then, I have a septic so nothign to worry about, its back into the ground where it came from.

Down the drain in the winter, and to a 45 gallon Rubbermaid container for watering plants in the summer.

I am ashamed to say mine has been going down the drain

Looks like I'll be picking up some new rain barrels for the excess. With that and rainwater I should be set to water the grass and plants all summer.

Getting off course here a bit. Next poll might be what happens do you do with water change water? I thought I would posison some weeds in our gravel driveway but so far they seem to enjoy the water, but I have only done 2 water changes and maybe a few more would bring the salt content to a level that is effective.

I tried that with the same results. The weeds loved the extra water Now it just goes down the toilet.

You can use the waste water for plants? I thought it was toxic with heavy metals etc. Someone needs to clarify this for me because i have a ton of plants that need watering all the time.

Using it to water plants is not a good idea as the amount of salts left in the ground will make that soil unusable for regular plants
