If there was one first-world problem that always bothered me, it was the amount of water that was wasted when using a water purifier. We live in a world where millions of people do not have access to clean drinking water, and news about water scarcity is rampant, and then proceed to waste more water than we use. In fact, I was so shocked when I realised that most conventional RO water purifiers waste up 75% of the water that it uses. This means that for each glass of water you drink, you are throwing down the drain. That is why I decide to invest in a MyHomePlus Alkaline water purifier from QNET. In my case, I choose the MyHomePlus KNIGHT Alkaline RO water purifier.
One of my favourite things about owning a MyHomePlus KNIGHT Alkaline RO water purifier is how little water it wastes if any. Its unique design allows you to store the water that is used in RO processing and can be later used for household purposes. Here are some of the uses that I found for the treated water around the home.
Washing your vegetables and fruits
One of the best uses for the water that is wasted by the water purifier is to use it for cleaning your fruits and vegetables. Even the water that is so-called wastewater that is released by the water purifier is comparatively clean and can be effectively used to wash your produce. It also saves a lot of water that would otherwise have been used to wash the vegetable and fruits.
Water your plants
If you love gardening or have plants, then the wastewater from your water purifier can be used for watering your plants. This is especially useful in urban areas as the TDS levels of municipal water sources tend to be lower than of other untreated ones. To be safer, you can start off by watering a few plants. Use the water discharged from your RO purifier for 10-15 days and keep track of your plant’s growth and development. Different kinds of plants react differently to the change in water. Keeping track of it will allow you to get a clear understanding of which plants are better suited for RO water purifier run-off. For gardening and irrigation purposes, a TDS level of 2100 PPM is permissible. But keep track of the sodium levels in your water. High sodium content can cause the soil to lose its porosity and harm fertility in the long run.
Wash your utensils
Another useful application for the water run-off from your RO purifier is to use it for washing and cleaning your utensils. You can store that water in a bucket or tank. Since the water purifier is most commonly in the kitchen, it is also a convenient and great way to save water.
Mopping your floor
Using RO wastewater is a great way to reduce water usage and save tens of litres of clean water every day. If you have a big house, you can use several litres of water to clean it every day. But by using the water waste from your RO water purifier, you can reduce the amount of water wasted. If the TDS of the wastewater is more than 2000 ppm, add ordinary tap water to it to dilute it.
Pre-rinsing laundry
Pre-rinsing laundry is another great of using the wastewater from your water purifier. But keep in mind that using high TDS water can cause some delicate clothes to get damaged. Most Indian households now own washing machines. These not just consume a lot of time and effort but also waste a lot of water. By using wastewater from water purifiers, you can reduce your water usage. This tip works best for semi-automatic and twin tub washing machines.
