Hi all,
I have been wondering if I can put the waste water from my RO unit to some good use instead of just letting it just go to total waste by going down the drain.
With the many environmental problems we are facing around the globe today and the many people/countries that are suffering from not having clean drinking water, I'm starting to feel extremely bad for using my RO unit, and to some extend keeping fish at all. (Because of alllll the water needed to keep up with the waterchange..)
Currently my unit is set to have the Good/Waste water ratio of around 1:3
With the weekly waterchange that I need do and the daily top off, the unit is almost running at all time. That is A LOT OF waste water going down the drain.
So, can anyone share some idea and suggestion on what I/We can probably do with all those waste water?
Storage would be a problem but even if we only managed to store and save a portion, its still better than just wasting them all down the drain.
While we are on the topic, what about the old saltwater we take out from waterchange? Can we do something with those too?
I guess this is even harder?
Anyone?
Thanks for reading!
