So, knowing that there is waste water generated with an RODI set-up, is there a way to take that waste water and repressurize it for another go-around? Seems like I saw, somewhere, that this is a possibility. I'm just looking to minimize wastage.

The issue quickly becomes the cost if further treatment exceeding the cost of the waste.

I built a fairly sophisticated zero waste system for the sake of doing so. I don't even use it to be honest.

And that is a great point, and I'd considered that. I'd have to reconcile the two and see if it's even worth it.

Are you using a double membranes? That will reduce your waste.
I'm not using anything at the moment. My tank doesn't go up until next Summer. I'm just thinking ahead and planning everything out. But I'll keep that in mind.
