    I need help with my ro . I Would like to know how I can waste as Little water as possible, as in grey water? I heard a 2ND ro will reduce grey water. I have low water perisher too, and I heard a good pump like 100 gpd. , would also help. any and all advise is going to be a big help. thank you all.Confused

    I would like to reduce my gray water too. I was thinking if I replace my 100micron prefilter with a 200micron filter that would hopefully reduce the gray water. Waiting for the warmer temps so I can really tell how much gray water my ro/di unit is making before I really change things around. Colder water means more gray water and hopefully the warmer weather will reduce my gray water.

    Reefman, If the water pressure is low then I would first add a booster pump to start.

    I agree, the cold weather really increases gray water, what until the warmer weather. Getting a booster pump will also help.

    cold water does not help RO units.

    if you really want zero gray water then get a booster pump, a check valve and then plumb the gray water into the hot water heater or into the standard water supply.
