Title: Ideas for waste RO water?
Post by: LWC on April 03, 2014, 05:41:42 pm
Ive just setup 2nd ibc at home to collect to waste RO water, which i will connect up to hosepipe to clean car, water garden etc. What else do you use yours for?

Surely theres a way to plumb into house, flush toilet, shower etc? I dont see why you cant drink it, my tap waters only 200 odd, i have been reading about it on other forums, they say its just obviously got higher ppm per litre than normal as its flushed out.

Any thoughts?

Just put mine straight on the grass with a sprinkler.
Only green grass on my street last year!

The extra tds wouldn't make it undrinkable but it depends on what germs are
lurking in your RO and the storage tank.

Yeh good point. I guess as long as it was properly sealed and clean it would be fine. Especially with amount of water going through it constantly.

I would never drink it for a simple reason;

We don't maintain our filters to "food grade" standard. Therefore anything that passes through then I would class as contaminated for drinking purposes.

I suppose if you added a UV filter in line then you could but otherwise no.

Using for toilet flushing etc though, yes that would be ok.
