That's fine if you can do that but not all of us have the ability to run a new water line outside and some of us have 8 months of below freezing winter. For indoor use you would have to setup a large storage tank with float and bypass system, then you would have to rig up some kind of way to use the stored water in things like laundry (but only the wash cycle not rinse). Reusing the waste water simply isn't always as practical as some of you make it out to be, 99% of the people using RO send the waste water down the drain and for good reason.
