    What kind of system do you have? I have a small one I used to use for hydroponics and currently just filling a gallon here or there to use in things like humidifiers that are problematic for hard water.

    The way mine works wastes a TON of water and takes FOREVER. Around 30 mins to fill a gallon, all while shooting the rest of the water right down the drain into the septic/leach field. At least with a leach field that water will eventually make its way back into the ground… but every time I use it I think about the 3-1 waste of water and the fact that my area is technically still in a drought.
