RO water waste

[FRUMPLEMEIST]

Just got a RO system and damn the amount of waste water to go water is ridiculous. Is the waste water good for anything? Can I give it my bushes outside or dump it in the grass? Don’t want to pore it down the drain because I have a septic tank and really don’t want to waste all this water . Thank you. Take care and enjoy your day

yup from what I've read it is perfectly fine for your vegging and flower gardens

Yes, absolutely fine for irrigation. Just a pain lugging buckets of water about. Totally worth it. I would advise at least occasionally dipping the ppm/pH meter into the waste water. Just to see what it's doing. I wouldn't dump 1000ppm 4.2pH into my veggie garden.

Thank you for the reply. I couldn’t find a good answer on google because some say yes and some say no. I know many people use RO water on this page. Take care
