Keeping permiate on rinse

[halladaymaple]

Hi all

Do people keep permiate on the rinse cycle or dump it ? Is there any reason not to keep it for cleaning etc...

Thanks

Darrell

I keep mine to clean with, but it only is used once then it is sent to drain.

If you mean can you keep and reuse permeate that has been used to rinse the RO, then no. Rinsing rids the machine of RO soap after a wash cycle or anything that has built up on the membrane if just a simple rinse. Either way -- dump it.
