what is your RO/DI rated at?
1 drop per second sounds like a 50GPD or less unit.
If you hold the 2 hoses, for ever drop of clean water there should be 3 drops of waste, roughly.

I have a 75gpd unit, on city pressure of 60PSI and I can make 10 gallons in around 2.5-3 hours.

Does your RO unit have a pressure gauge? what does it read?
Unplugging the DI part wont make your water production any faster.


and yeah it's called waste water for a reason. Not sure why you'd even consider using it. Would defeat the whole purpose of an RO.
