Also very correct Adam, its a PITA to deal with water changes. Myself I don't dump any tank water down the drain. With my new system I am adding a couple brass check valves into my whole house RO system that drains the waist water directly out into my water slew. This way I can direct pump my water change water directly out there where it will not affect my septic system.

I was on city water but had a septic system, after 10 years of water changes and such it never caused any problems. and when we had the inspection done when we sold the house they guy said it was the cleanest system he had ever seen, so.... who knows if that is a worry?

I too am in Manitoba, my water is over 800 ppm but have no troubles as long as it goes through a softener first. All my water goes straight down the drain.
