    Shoot I may want to start up a delivery service to your house.

    I was thinking about rigging my waste line out to the yard to fill a rain bucket tied to a soaker hose. Not sure if the pressure in the barrel will allow the hose to soak, but I can think of better use for that water than sending it back into the system.

    RODI for the reef, waste for the grass... win win all around!

    If you need a hand with your set up or RODI, and if it's on a weekend, let me know and I'd be happy to help out.

    WHAT??!!! Now I have competition on delivering free RO/DI? LOL

    I have an Icemaker in the Garage that runs on RO/DI and the drain from that as well as the RO/DI unit waste line are routed to a bannana plant in the front yard. That is about the only green spot in my yard at this point.

    You ain't kidding. I'm paying out the nose just to keep my front yard a sunny shade of green and yellow. About to give up the battle and just keep the trees watered (new trees that is). Back yard looks like one of those old western scenes, only need a tumbleweed to complete the image.

    This is great, the competition will keep you straight! Better customer service when there is other business in town! Maybe next time you'll top off the tank for me :P instead of just leaving the jugs on the porch in the hot sun!!!! LMAO!

    Been using the waste line to a large container (37g) and have a spigot on it. That way I can fill up 5g buckets and toss it on the yard. Its my way of keeping my yard a nice crispy yellow
