OK Now I have a ?? and I know this is going to sound>>>>> anyways

What are you guy's doing with your RO waste water????
Depends what it measures. Mine was not bad at all so I used it in the flower beds. I don't use RO anymore because my tap water is good here. When I used it it was for fish. Just test it and as you stated use it for grass or whatever.

This is the RO unit water

Okay total hardness is about a 20 I'm guessing it's a little darker than the zero not a lot but it is a little darker,
total chlorine obviously we're good
alkaline PPM 40
pH 5.5 - 6
nitrate 2
Nitrite 0 - 0.25
Copper 0- 0.3
Iron 0- 0.3

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess the system was not flushed first? your PPM will likely go down after a few runs. maybe 30-40 gal then the PPM should go down.

got maybe 5 gal made so 15 gals or so has gone though not a lot......

I think it HELP a LOT..... I'm going to drink it in tea and will know in a day or 2.......
also this RO unit IS NOT running on the line with the pre filter I will moved it over so right now that's right out of the well. I have 3 lines working right now.....

Just read through all this. In 2 weeks you've got it figured out. Awesome. Folks here ROCK! RO is a big waste but you really have little choice. Use as much waste water as possible elsewhere. Buying water is the worst! I can get it $0.25 a gal but I do not want to lug it.

Your future grows will be much easier.šŸ˜‰
