RO unit

The tank isn't used for waste water. It's used for product water.

What if I wanted to use it for waste water? Anyone ever done that? Honestly no reason to just flush waste water. And if I'm not mistaken ro/di water is labled as "no for human consumption"

you wouldn't hook a pressurized tank to the waste line, you can hook up the waste to whatever you like: washing machine, barrel, or just let it drain into the garden. At the moment it is just hooked up to the drain. There is a shutoff valve on my waste line that stops the flow once the RO storage tank fills.

mine stops when my barrel is full just wanted to reuse the waste.

I know a very reputable Clownfish breeder that has branched out to cichlids, uses his waste water for them and has no issues.

How does he collect the waste water?

I gave you a use for the RO unit.

My wife has a green thumb. I run my waste line outside and use it to water all the plants and landscaping in the front of our house.

Dow Filmtec does not make a 99% rejection rate RO membrane. I would like to see the manufacturers or third party testing labs data sheets on those. I see so many inflated claims on eBay it really makes me cautious. Do you guarantee that 99% rejection rate?

I don't see anything on this membrane at that link. Am I missing something?

Take your competition elsewhere guys.

I didnt know I could add to it

I added a lot to my setup. I now have three sediment filter cans, two RO membranes, then four more sediment-type canisters, two of which have DI resin in them, one has carbon, and one is empty at this time. Water comes out at 0ppm.

BTW...the two DI cans that often sit on top of the RO/DI units...the kind with blue end caps and clear in the middle.. I have a couple of them that I'm not using. I would probably trade for frags.
