Should I be concerned about my RODI and my DOS running at the same time if they share a 1/4" drain? I'm thinking it would probably be fine, but wanted to get some more opinions. I'll probably just be doing 1 or 2 gallons a day or so on the DOS, so nothing too crazy. The RODI is a Spectrapure 100gpd.

I don’t really understand the question.
Are you ask if the waste water can be flushed down the same drain?
 
Sorry. Would it be too much flow to have RODI waste and an Auto Water Change draining through the same 1/4" drain at the same time?

I see no issues with this, I would just make sure you have some sort of backflow preventer on each line.
 
Fair point! I can turn my RODI on and off, so I'm going to just not let them run at the same time and not worry about it.
