I water garden plants and trees with it mostly. How do you guys do your laundry with it? manually put it into the washer or is the line plumbed in somehow?

If you have house plants or garden you can probably water them with it. I know one guy who threw it into his washing machine to do laundry.

Hard thing is where to plumb it so it's readily avail? I thought of the 45g drums outside, for garden water etc, But, what do you do in the winter time? The line/water would freeze. My RO system is pretty much automated to keep the top off tank full, usually make 20-30g of RO at a time.
