RODI Waste Water

[reefertank]

Ran my d i Wastewater to air conditioning drain now it is forming a small puddle outside and my dogs are drinking it. My question is is it harmful for my dogs to drink this water

It's OK for dogs, who drink from dirty puddles anyway.

I would not suggest a person drink it since bacteria can grow in the system.

I would also say if the AC line is cleaned regularly with chemical cleaners then It would not be good for the animals.

I typically flush it after I clean it which I only do once a year. Unfortunately my dogs have access to it, which is why I keep it clean.

You should be good then. I use the waste water for washing clothes. I have a drain for my sump and auto water change to the outside. I dug a whole down to fit a 5 gal bucket, drilled a bunch of holes in the bucket, placed the bucket in the hole and filled the bucket with gravel for drainage. You could try this also.

I use my waste water to water tree's and my garden. Catch it in 5 gallon buckets.

I feel like we could do a whole thread to see how people reuse there waste water.

Some of our customers use it for a variety of things such as pond water, watering flowers and ect.

the TDS is about 15-20% higher on the waste water since the membrane is rejecting all that and sending it down the drain.

Same here. Works great on my wife's plants and flowers outside. Especially during the dry season.
