Waste water
Why is so much water wasted using a reverse osomosis filter? And can that waste water be recycled back through the filter?

The amount of waste water varies from home to home depending on the quality of water being ran through the filter. The amount of waste water is determined by the amount of TDS in the tap water; the more TDS the more waste water.
Some people have found creative uses for using the waste water, most people just let it go. Watering plants, mopping floors; I've heard a number of things over the years. |

I have my waste water go into my washing machine. The water is good for washing clothes.
