Drifty Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 How much waste water do you get when you make RO water. I seem to get twice as much waste water as apposed to RO water, is this normal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 it all depends on your ro unit, different units have different waste ratio's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 yes this is normal. have the waste go into a drum to feed your washing machine, garden etc. when they say 'waste' - remember its still useable as RO/DI means zero crap. my rodi is 75ppm in, 0ppm out.

petplanet Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 2-3 times the volume of clean water is normal unless it is sending it through a second or third RO membrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 2-3 is actually pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
