Good points, make sense and I guess my concerns are unfounded in that regard. I believe there have been cases, although rare, of 'Legionaire's' disease from people keeping their hot water tanks at too low a temperature for extended periods. This would indicate that even though bacteria is eliminated at one point, there's always a possibility of it returning somehow. They can be nasty little critters.

My ro unit is right next to my old school washer, its a piece of crap so I drilled a hole in the top, put an airline connector in it and crazy glued my ro waste line into it. Very high tech system I got goin on. The wife don't complain about stains or anything, but there again... I don't make enough water to fill it more then halfway before a loads ready to be washed. Something else for people to consider with top loading washing machines.
