When you say waste water are you talking about runoff?

if you had an r/o unit, you would know the answer, and no, it's not run off.

No Enigmatic, I am talking about the arsenic, chloritic, nasty water that a reverse osmosis filter separates at the tap, at usually a 2:1 ratio. i just end up dumping it onto my lawn every few days when my trash can res is filled and that has to be wasteful. I'm wondering if theres anything i can do to better utilize that water. I heard of some plants that clean out dirty water like that. There is a lake in New york where they are using swampy plants to clear out the pollution, for example.

Damn dude, what do you do with your bong resin? Glue?

RO's are meant to be plumbed so that the water you're referring to goes down the drain. If you want to use it for something, save it and flush your toilets with it or water your garden. The thing is, that water will never stop coming. You will run out of uses for it before you use it all.....man that has got to be a bitch to try and find a use for all that water.

Flushing your toilets with it is not a bad idea. Woukd save water

 

[MrStickyScissors]

That is how mine is set up. Very odd question.

it will take up all those heavy metals, so, you probably won't want to smoke it.

Dump it on your garden,...

note after a few dumps it may discolor some plants

if it happens dump elsewhere...

after 300-500 dumps

you may try and leach out some good shit/minerals

outta ur dump save some cash ..?

Ours is saved and dumped into the washing machine.Waste not want not as water isnt cheap here.I have a very good quality of rodi unit and can make 10 gallons of good to 4 gal of waste.

 

[KryptoBud]

Bottle it, put a pretty label on it, and sell it in hydro shops for $90 a gallon.

 

[Dr. Who]

Mine gets redirected to the livestock tanks.......
