RO rinse - permeate outlet ?

[tgormley358]

Every year at startup I seem to have new questions about running my small RO (50gph water removal). When you Rinse at startup to remove and get rid of preservative, do you run both the concentrate and permeate lines outside as waste? Or so you run the permeate outlet back into your permeate tank? Thanks.

Toss both for 10 minutes, then if you want, you should be able to keep the permeate.
