Hello and thanks in advance for comments…
After an 8 year absence looking to get back into the hobby. In that time, we moved to the South and West of Providence. The new house we are in has septic.
Trying to think of creative ways to make RO (as well as salt water) without significant water waste (without dumping into septic) as well as a way to get ride of saltwater waste (again, not into the septic). I think this would involve some sort of RODI system with a 1:1 (or similar) ratio and only do small batches per week.
Main plumbing of the house is nearly immediately below the proposed tank location in the unfinished basement. The only options I can think of would be set up RODI in basement - using large Brute can for RO and another for waste (??) and then figuring out a way to pump the RO up to a third large Brute into a closet (next door to the proposed tank) to make saltwater.
The next challenge would be (1) figuring out a way to pump the waste water up to same space and try to find a way to sneak the water out the front or side of the house, and (2) trying to rid the saltwater waste out of the house during WCs In a way that doesn’t freeze up in the winter.
I dont know if this makes sense or not, so grateful for any thoughts or ideas.
