I am setting up a Kent RO machine and the directions are not that hot. What has everyone done with the waste water line? I am not sure what to do with it. I don't have a drain close by to tap into and I want to set it up permenantly with float valves in my refugium and back up tub of salt water. Any one have a RO that can give me some advice?

Remember, depending on your house water pressure, you are going to generate a LOT of waste water. You don't need larger that 1/4" tubing for the waste water. Try routing that along the baseboard to a drain. You may not be able to pipe it directly into your sump if it's not close enough to a drain. A lot of folks collect RO/DI water in a separate container with a float switch and dispense out of there into portable containers. You may not be able to get everything set up the way you planned.
