Default Sewatec 3 stage RO unit

Juz gotton hold of a 2nd hand unit of the Sewatec 3 stage RO unit.(Okay to dispel any guessing game , I got this unit from SRC side at $50) value for money.
No photo yet , but can find the info at http://www.sewatec.de/Sewatec_Produc...e21f211ba117bd

Will take a photo of it installed in my bathroom a few days later.
Test run today , managed to get 2 litres of RO treated water by wasting 5 litres of water. . The 2 litre is meant for a top up use and kalkwasser mix. so juz nice for me. the wastage would be used for watering plants , and laundry washing.

actually think abt it not really a waste mah , waste imply u realli have to discard the rejection "waste " is just a term given for rejection imo. To get the 2 litre water i remember waiting for up to 30min . According to the previous user , he explained that the higher the PSI of the inlet , the more water passes through the membrane so more RO water collection.

That's the reason why RO is not very popular... wastage of water.

haha ancelot and ekia , let me stun u further , today tried processing to get 10 litre of RO water and the process wasted 45Litres of water
!!!! dumped the 45 litre into my washing machine for laundry use.
Ancelot , you wont get 5Litre of RO for 5 litre of water , This is because in the process of purification , water that does not get forced pass the membrane will be discharged as rejection or wastage. implication is that the higher pressure of yr inlet , the less wastage of water.
For me the wastage is still okay cos i only need max 10 l of ro for saltmix per month. 45 litre wastage will be divided among the no of laundry washing to be done , usually 2 X a week and the wastage thus becomes insignificant.
Let this serve as a guide to those considering RO unit for bigger tanks like 3 feet and above.

Imagine a 6ft tank using RO, imagine the amount of waste water. By changing water once a month, my 4footer already using at least 100l a month. That will be 450l of waste water....
