Q&A: How to recycle R.O waste water?

06 Oct Posted by in Recycle | 1 comment

Question by Ashish C: How to recycle R.O waste water?
How can we recycle the R.O waste water filter….can it be used to give water to plants

Best answer:

Answer by Seedling
I’d imagine it would be OK for house plants. Note that this water will have a very high concentration of contaminants, some of them potentially harmful (such as heavy metals). I wouldn’t eat any plant that was watered with it.

And obviously if you were using the reverse osmosis to treat saltwater, you can’t use the saltwater on the plants.

    That is something that can be disposed of down the drain. Whether into a septic tank or into a municipal water system, the amount of concentrated contaminants get diluted quickly as it joins other effluent.
