I recently purchased a new water purifier. It has UV+UF +TDS control +RO. What I am worried about is it waste so much water. As it store filtered water in its container, it throws double or maybe three times water out by a pipe. Have you experienced the same? How do you utilities that water?

That's brilliant. In India also this practice has been started in some places.

@Bodyandbrain I would think that in some places in India the water from the sky would be too polluted to drink.

@JudyEv you are right, atmosphere in India is much more polluted than Australia, so the water from sky can not be used for drinking.

Such water filters, while filtering, waste double the water. It is normal thing.
You should store the waste water in a separate container. If you are finding one container insufficient either you will have to buy a bigger one or an extra container. The waste water could be used in other house hold activities.

@Bodyandbrain Water is very precious, therefore we should allow it to waste to the barest minimum possible.

@Bodyandbrain I would say No. It would be better to wash rice and pulses in filtered water.

@bunnybon7 it has to remove all impurities and hardness of water, maybe removing it mixed with water is easy for machine

Yes RO s waste a lot of water. If I would have managed, I would have devised some means of storing the waste water.
However, the structures within many flats and even houses in India would need a lot of adjustments for rainwater harvesting or similar kinds of water preservation plans.

I store that water in a tank and use it for washing vegetables, gardening, washing balconies etc.
You are right about the need of adjustment for rain water storage and use, we need to do something seriously about it.

get the issue resolved, and the water which you think is going in waste you can use it in other form such as cleaning the floor and washing clothes.

@syeow1 actually these types of water purifiers waste water in order to clean and reduce the hardness of water.

@Bodyandbrain
but water is precious.
considering the suffering of many people for water during this summer, our little difficulty to reuse water is nothing.

You are right, and I am doing that. Washing clothes would really utilities that much water but problem is that we wash in washing machine which is fully automatic and the distance between kitchen and bathroom is pretty much.

I have checked with friends and neighbours and they complaints the same thing. I got it checked by costumer service by company and they said that it works that way only.
