Premiere H2O has a system that dumped the water into the hot water line, similar to a hot water loop, but in reverse. There’s a lot of caveats with that arrangement (doesn’t really work with a tankless water heater, for example).



Wait, they push the waste/brine into the hot water line? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of filtration?

I was thinking more of using it typical gray water usage like watering plants.

Hot water is for external use only.


You still absorb an astounding amount of chemicals through your skin.


... you’ve never used hot water to fill up, say, a pot of water for cooking?


it's gross. Don't do that.


I imagine despite the term brine it is still incredibly clean water
