What to do with RODI waste???

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.

wow you guys must have some crappy water. My waste is like zero, it would take 30days of non stop water to fill my 180g

or... i may have something hooked up wrong! LOL

My RODI has a rejection rate of 3:1 so there is 3L of waste for every 1L of RODI.

I would like to buy another pressure tank and send the waste to that and then hook it up to the supply line of the toilets of my house. It may take longer to fill up the toilet, but would be an elegant way to use the waste.
