Two questions.
First, what do you do with your waste water?
I revert my to my veggie garden. Curious on what other people do?

Second question.
ive been using super soil lately, and I don't use tap water, I use 25% waste water mixed with RO water, this bumps my ppm to about 100 or less, and of course I aerate before I use it. Thus far no def of any kind and everything seems to run smooth. Once again just curious if any one does this as well? Or something similar to this? Is waste water concentrated with minerals?
Thanks yall

Bump.....

What do you do with your waste water?

Have u ever tried 25% waste water and 75% RO water and feed with that?

Is waste water consent rated in minerals?

I have the stealth R/O by Hydrologic and I have 3:1 waste ratio... When I have to run my R/O system I run the waste poly tubing straight into the bathroom sink drain....

Lol, well in terms of sustainability, I'm not sure that's the best way to use your waste water lol. You don't have house plants you can feed your waste water with? A garden?

lol nope.. I live in AZ ( Phoenix ) and there isnt much plant life both my front and back yard are desert landscaping and half the back yard is taken up with a swimming pool. I tell my wife anytime she needs or wants a garden I'll set her up. When I used to grow hydro I would take my waste from reservoir changes and dump them on the palo verde tree or the cacti in the front yard.
