Yes you have to have waste water! Having it turned off will shorten your membranes life very fast.

The waste line runs because it is extra water that can not be pushed threw the membrane so it takes the dirt/waste water away from the membrane. Which in return prolongs the life of the membrane. When its not running the dirt is just building up on the input side of the membrane which in return clogs it faster and resulting you in you buying a new membrane much sooner.

We have a zero waste system that we will have on out site very soon. This system will recirculate the waster water back into your house system. Resulting in zero waste ro and ro/di!

I collect all the waste water in extra containers and try to find other uses for it. Garden in summer, toilet in winter. It's a bit of a pain, but helps keep the actual waste to a minimum and also helps with the quarterly water bill from the city.

well keep an eye out for your Zero Waste RO/DI units!

Thanks BWI, but if I understand correctly, the zero waste system you're offering puts the waste water into your hot water line? I don't think this will work on a hot water system using a tankless hot water heater. This is something I'm planning on installing in the near future.
