Matt what do you collect your ro water in, I collect mine in two 30 gal rubbermaids I just drilled a hole at the top about an inch down and ran a hose to my drain. The ro doesn't make water that fast so if it gets to high you will only lose a little down the drain.

i use a 35gal trash can and what i want to do is get a float valve for it but my moms really scared about leaks and stuff bcus we just had a leak in one of our pipes and we have to rip the house apart to fix it so i just dont run it when im not home

i was thinking of that but my house is a split level so that would NOT be fun getting a 35gal trash can full of water up 3 sets of stairs
