FateX9 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 to check if its actually workin you need a tds meter that measures the dissolved patricles in the water the lower the better Link to comment

Kingpin Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 drink the waste water it the same as tap Link to comment
dyazdani Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 The waste water is not the same as the tap water, it has a higher concentration of crud. That's not to say you CAN'T drink it, but I wouldn't. You could filter it with the tap water purifier, but you'd burn the filters out pretty fast. I'd use it for watering plants or something where the water quality isn't critical (I'm not a plant person, some may say it IS critical for them???) Link to comment
Kingpin Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 the crud is basic the stuff that purifies the water like clorine, florine, and other INES, yes there are more heavymetals concentraction but i like a like iron/sulfur in my water adds a favor. it safe and taste the same unless ur tap has favor already Link to comment
