Hahah good idea Kien, if you are getting those new Koralias, sell me your Tunze 6105s ok?
You certainly are not tossing that much water. The R/O membrane is rejecting 98% of the dissolved solids, not the water. Depending on the pressure of the feed, your getting anywhere from 2:1 (Waste/product) to 10:1 ratio. I run very high PSI and dual membrane in paralelle so my waste is actually lower than 2:1.
