Hello, I have some questions about RO unit waste water and figured this is the place to be.
The units "waste" water should be cleaner than my tap water, correct? My tap does not go through a sediment filter or carbon before I use them for my planted tanks. Can I just cut the RO water with a little bit of waste water and have some solid freshwater for my planted tanks?
I usually use my softened tap which has been trash for my planted tanks. My RODI station is the only sink in my home running unsoftened water. I recently was wondering if I could just use the ro/waste water mix which would have a much better mineralization and will be much more consistent that city tap. Also it will be slightly filtered from the sediment/carbon filters in the RODI unit. Seems obvious enough to me, I was just wondering if you guys have experience doing something like this and was looking for some verification.
