I was reading palmers Water Book and he states that on a typical home RO water system, 4 gallons of waste water are produced for every one gallon of RO water.
So, being the OCD type, i disconnected the hoses from my system and sure enough, I got one gallon of RO water and four gallons of water that would have otherwise gone to the drain. So I used it to water my plants (hope they like sulphur!!!)
I'm looking for a better systen that does not waste so much water. What are you guys using? I use ~20 gallons per week just for strike/mash/sparge.
Thats 80 gallons wasted!
