I actually got my RO/DI set up yesterday and got a 0 TDS reading YAY ;Happy
Very exciting, although I was devastated at just how much water is wasted as we are on a water meter :eek:
Ready to get it filled when I'm back from holiday

Good job.
It is worth trying to find a way to use the waste water.
You can run the waste line as long as you want. I run mine thru the garage and out to a garden bed

Yea I was thinking of keeping some of the waste water for water changes in my tropical tank but it only needs small amounts.
Do you know how long you can store it in a bucket with a lid before using for a water change?

If you keep it closed and with a circulating pump it would last you enough to use it all.
