What about the waste created by it? My 50 gallon waste water constantly overflows.
Any system out there that doesn’t create so my waste?
Also, I seem to burn though membrane pretty fast. Even after initial flushing of system
You can't just run the waste down a drain? That's what I do.
I don't bother catching my waste water. Its such a small amount in our overall use that it isn't worth the hassle. I just route the waste down the drain.
The amount of waste water a system produces is somewhat adjustable by changing the restrictor. Going to a smaller restrictor will produce less waste.
Basically, the cleaner your incoming water, the smaller the restrictor you can use.
If your incoming water has high TDS, you need more water to flush the membrane effectively, so you need to use a larger restrictor.
So if your incoming source water is low in TDS, run a smaller restrictor, which will produce less waste.
if your incoming source water is high in TDS, then you need to run a larger restrictor, which produces more waste.
So if you have low TDS water in coming, then you can set up your RODI to produce less waste than if you are starting with high TDS source water.
My incoming water has a TDS under 100, so I can get by using a smaller restrictor than someone who has higher TDS source water. My system doesn't produce a ton of waste water, but I"m running a much smaller restrictor than most.
