Yes. Usually at a ratio of 5:1 waste:RO/DI. The water is ready as soon as it passes through the DI resin. Idk about a TDS meter but you're going to need one.Good luck.

Yes, you can drink the waste water. but don't drink the RODI water. Not good for humans. (that is what I was told by another reefer)

Y can't the waste water b drunk? I know on my ro system the water goes through a sediment filter and 3 carbon filters b 4 hitting the ro memb.

I'm not saying I drink my ro units waste water, I actually use it to water the flowers. But just asking why.

Idk. Maybe because the water has higher TDS than the water coming out of the RO membrane...which logically should be less than the source water before the sediment filter.
