![]() What kind of system uses 150 gallons to yield 50 gallons? Our reject at work was only about 10% (but that's for Vancouver water). Still, a reject of 66% is way out of wack. People initially went to RO because it was cheaper and the membranes lasted longer, but it does depend on your feed water, prefiltration etc, as well as what you're trying to remove from your water.

![]() Im using the Kent Marine Maxxima Hi-S RO/DI Filter - 60 GPD and my rejection is very close to what Chin's is. While Im not on a metered water system I dont have a garden for the reject water and it seems like such a waste to put that much down the drain. When our new house is completed (Aug) I will most likely use Chins suggestion and use the reject water in the yard/garden.

what system do you use at work that used 10% waste? if I can reduce mine to 10%, i will continue to use RO/DI. But I know my waste water ratio is not out of the norm.
