Unless he's manually turning it off and on as needed. Ohhh wait, Ok that's what he's doing. Yeah, so basically *your friend has a reservoir and that's why it works*.
He's not manually turning anything on or off, his float valve does that. Its just that his RO setup came with something that shuts off the waste water when the tank is pressured up.

For myself, having to remember to shut of my filter when the reservior is filled is no different than having to remember to shut it off when my drinking water jugs were full. Even if I had float valves in place in the reservior to avoid spillage, the filter is still dumping waste water down the drain as the water meter ticks away. So this is really the best way for me to save water and for piece of mind.
