What can I do with RO wastewater?

What do you do with yours?

Seems like a waste to just put it down the drain.

Water your grass maybe?

Unfortunately, I just put mine down the drain. Too much effort to harvest it and haul it up the stairs. I just consider it a cost of the RO basically.

drink it, it is cleaner than the tap water.

cheers

How is it cleaner than the tap water? You take 5 parts tap water, remove 1 part of the water and keep 5 parts of the contaminants. My TDS in is ~70 and out is 1, while the waste water is ~110 PPM.

It still goes through the carbon and sediment block first . No chlorine if nothing else

Ours is in the laundry room, so it's good for that ocassional cold water load. I even got motivated once and stuck a heater in there to do a warm load. I'd like to run it outside for the dog pool....hmm..

I run mine into my washer, works great, never have to worry about it over flowing if you are just using a pail.

It works well for us as we have our daughter, her hubby and our grandaughter (she just turned 1), so they do lots of laundry. I always have RO water on hand, so it doesn't take long to fill the washer LOL
