ro/di waste water

I am currently debating if going with tap water or well water as a source for my rodi water. What do you guys do with the waste water created when using regular tap water?

 

I use it to add water to a koi fish pond in the back yard.

 

I just have an airwaterice system that runs the waste water down the drain and good water into a bucket or 3 gallon resevoir tank. Easy to set up and easy to use.

 

Run the waste water down the drain from my MightMite. Store the filtered water in a 15 gal plastic drum.

 

i use the waste water from my RO/DI to water my plants and occassionally do small top offs on my freshwater tank (after using stresscoat)...

 

mines in the laundry room,so i just divert it to the washer but i gotta keep an eye b4 it over flows

 

I was thinking about doing the same thing and use my waste water to do laundry. At 4 gallon per 1 good gallon that equals up to a lot of wasted water and money. Thanks for the responses everyone.

 

This is why I just get my RO/DI water from my LFS. I live in an apartment without a backyard, garden, etc. So, I really wouldn't have much use for my waste water. Thus, the RO/DI unit would end up KILLING me via just the water bill... LOL.

 

GatorDrew,
I don't know about where you live, but here in Virginia water is cheap. According to my last bill, my household used 19,000 gal of water between Sept and Dec at a cost of $34.00. That's less than $2.00 per 1,000 gallons.
The wastewater from the RO/DI filter isn't going to break the bank. When the daughter goes to college next year, we'll see if the reduced showers lower my water bill!

 

I use it for watering my plants as well in the spring, summer and fall...winter time would be nice to use to set-up an ice skating rink in the back yard(Hockey anyone?)
