Cliff Puckstable March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 This is a stupid question but does anyone know if the waste water is chlorinated? Im trying to find other ways to use this water as I find it extremely wasteful. It’s weird before I had a kid I coulda cared less. But now I find myself caring and I can’t turn it off.

YHSublime March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 If I had a house, I'd run it into the washer. Or into a water barrel outside for plants/yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menglish March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 I have been in same boat. You can use it to wash cloths. I did this for a while. Then i up graded my washer. Now it has a fancy sensor so when i put the water in, it senses how much water is in there and empties it out. (sucks). Now i have a big 80G storage tank outside that i fill up and will use it to water the garden. I was trying to build a koi pond and use the waste water to top off the pond. My wife put a hold on my fish expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Puckstable March 12, 2019 Author Share March 12, 2019 Does the waste still have chlorine or does that get filtered out? I’m thinking of using it for my aquaponic system I’m building. Does anyone here have one running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 My guess is that the chlorine would get removed by the carbon filter stages before the RO filter, but I'm not totally sure of that. A little bit of chlorine might be OK for growing plants, though, to keep the mold down. Not as OK if you're also growing fish in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Puckstable March 12, 2019 Author Share March 12, 2019 I will be housing fish in it. Looks like most dechlorinizers lower your ammonia too which is maybe something I do not want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menglish March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 Chlorine should be gone with with filters you are using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
