I have a 24g/day RODI system.
I know how to tap into my water line in my house for the input. I'm curious if it is possible to put my output (waste water) back into my water system. Given it's a 24g/day unit, there is a lot of waste water in comparison to clean water.
It's only 24g/day, the waste water is not much higher in TDS than my normal water. Also, we don't drink our water without it going through the kitchen filter so I'm not particularly concerned with a slight increase.
The problem I am trying to figure out is that once it's a closed loop with the house water, I think it will only produce filtered water when someone is using water in the house (showers, laundry, dishes, etc). I was thinking to put a switch to allow me to run the waste water outside in case I need to make water when needed to my back yard.
Also, how can I plumb it back into the water line so that the water only goes one way? Can I use a check valve for that?
Has anyone setup their system like this?
