Ro Units And Water

[jeasko]

Ok
firstly have been looking into investing in a RO unit but am concerned that there must be some waste from them which prob requires draining off somewhere, being that im in a flat drainage could be a prob am i right in assuming this?
Secondly with RO water how long can I store it for topping up my tank in a sealed water container, as I am having to buy it at mo and dont want to top up with poor quality water?

The "waste" water can be run down any drain/toilet/etc or it an be stored and used to wash clothes, water plants, etc. The RO water can be stored in just about any plastic container with a lid on it. Doesnt have to seal, just needs to keep dust out. Remember, RO water is just nearly pure H2O. Keeping it in a plastic container will be just fine

ski you obviously type faster than me as just asked you same question on the other topic so does that mean that i can store water for a long period of time before it has to be ditched?

Yup. With a dust-covering lid you can prolly store RO water for months if need be. Remember, its just water

Yep Ski's right as usual, think about the bottled water you buy in supermarkets. It has a shelf life of YEARS. Personally when I had my old RO unit I used the water for washing the car and watering the garden etc.
