I use the rodi buddy the float is connected to the r/o di line. That water stops coming out, but the waste water keeps pushing through. Idk why it just does lol
Unless you have a retention container it should stop waste water production after you quit making water. I have around a 5 gallon storage container, one of the pressurized containers under my sink. So when that container is full the RO/DI shuts off completely. I would think if an RO keeps producing waste water after, there is a problem?
