I think I had mine dialed into about 2:1 in victoria as I only had 16PPM out of the tap. Probably could have went to 0.5:1 with no problems there.

Ha, ha, yeah, 16 TDS is pretty sweet out of the tap. I'm pretty sure I've read that some folks on the coast just use DI, no RO membrane, zero waste that way, other than the DI media I guess.... and even that can be recharged if you don't mind working with some caustic chemicals.

Great idea using a JG valve to adjust the waste flow, a kind of variable restrictor! I think I have an extra one kicking around and will give that a go. Thanks.

Funny how stuff works, folks on the coast with too much water, rain forest, Manitoba getting flooded out, and those of us in between a little on the dry side.. With cheap rates and an overabundance of H2O, it's easy to get complacent about running waste down the drain.
