How To Use RO Waste Water?

 Water wastage is a cardinal sin. If you own an RO, you too are contributing to water wastage unintentionally unless you take steps to save water, which is a scarce resource.

It is connected with two pipes -  one that carries the waste water from RO one that brings out the water from the storage tank into the tap, which is used for washing utensils
