Yup, thats pretty much normal. Most RO sys are 4-5 times more waste, BUT, that depends on alot of factors. Water pressure, Water temperature, Prefilter condition, Membrane condition, size of restrictor capilary tube. I set my RO unit in sink, let waste run down drain, and fill 5g buckets. I am on a well and septic, and havnt had too much waste water issues. Water temp is a real big factor. Most RO sys are calibrated with 60 or 70*F water I belive. Running cold water drastically reduced the RO output, but running HOT ruins filters and membranes
