...people wash laundry in lakes and rivers with some soap...

The waste is water that didn't make it through the ro membrane but has gone though your particulate and carbon filters. It should be good for most anything.

Re: RO/DI

I asked about that in a previous post and someone said that it promotes algae? Have you seen that affect?

I can vouch for the algae I was mistakenly using waste water in my tanks for 6 months glad i got that sorted (rodi setup wrong)

Re: RO/DI

I meant using the ro waste to top off ponds, does it promote algae?

 

[High Plains Reefer]

i dont see why the same rules would apply the di catridge removes disolved solids and thats what algae feed on

I had zero algae problems in my pond. I'm pretty sure Jerry(JNG) used to do the same. The only time I would have algae is after the thaw and before the plants grew. It did that regardless if I used RO/DI waste water or not

I had algea problems in my pond even before I started putting the waste in there when i have too much to use around the house. We added a sterilizer to our pump line and cleared up most of the problem.

would i need to use a water conditioner before using the waste water in my sons fresh water tank?

I never did, are you using plain tap water now ?? The waste water is way cleaner then tap, it's been through the pre filters

Waste water is cleaner then tap, at least on my system, my tap registers 40-50 on TDS the waste registers 15, maybe since its the rejected RO membrane water there is other stuff in it I don't know, I only know that it worked fine in my piranha tanks and did not promote algae growth. Do you have a TDS meter ? If so get some readings of what the waste is putting out and what your tap registers at

It should be cleaner then tap. Runs through sediment and charcoal filters
