so since I installed an RO unit for my aquariums, gallons of waste water have been going down my drain... what could this water be used for??? I actually have 2 RO units... there is already one in the house for drinking water
Normal RO waste water is just "very hard"??? rinsing the accumulated minerals out of the RO membrane??? I'm assuming mine is currently going to have a high salt content, as my RO unit (s) are fed with water from a whole house softener... but if I could draw off my well water ( pre whole house softener ) could that water be used for rift lake tanks, or some similar use??? even with the salt ions, that I assume are in my RO waste water, could that water be used for brackish aquariums... maybe I could use it for my Tilapia aquaculture set up, or without the salt ions maybe for plants???
just seems wasteful, to run all that water down the drain... I don't think the salt residue is good for my septic system either???
