What to do with RODI waste???

[Gaffer]

So I installed my new RODI system this week and currently I have it draining into the floor drain in my basment.

Seeing as I have deep pockets and short arms, I dont like the thought that I am wasting all that water.

I am looking for suggestions for what to do with that water besides putting down the drain.

I had thought of sending outside to my rainbarrels to be used in the yard, but that wont work in the winter.

What does everyone else do?

Garden summer, toilets winter. I have several large plastic barrels in the basement for keeping it during the winter. Some folks also use it in their washers, but I have front loading which use very little water, so not feasible for me.

if you have plants, water them with your waste. but we used it for our washer.

How do you use it for toilets

I run a small black 3/4" line outside to my trees for the summer. I move the line every week to a different tree. In the winter I can't find an easy feasible solution yet, except as an occasional top-up for my hot-tub.

I am too lazy to use in winter, but in the summer I have it going outside to a big 45 gallon drum.

Perfect to water the garden with water that has already run through carbon, and doesn't have chlorine in it!

I use it for topping off my hot tub. But I also let it go down the drain, I am on a pressurized septic field so in effect i am watering my lawn with it.

Thanks for the ideas.

We have a front loader so the washing machine idea is a no go.

I do like the idea of some drip irrigation set up for the plants since we have plenty outside.

I recall seeing someone who tapped it into thier hotwater tank, but have yet to figure out how it would not overflow it.
