Is that 4 gallon waste to 1 gallon ro/di ?

roughly yeah.... depends on temperature, pressure and type of membrane but on average 4 gallons waste to 1 gallon of clean water.

Is the waste water useable for anything? Like watering plants.

yes its fine for that. a lot of people fill there washers with it. i use mine for my African cichlid tank
I've heard that the waste water is actually pretty good compared to what's coming straight out of the tap. Any thoughts?
It'll just be real hard water. I wouldn't recommend drinking it....might cause gall stones...lol.
Why hard????

hard just refers to the mineral content. the waste water will be filtered by the micron filter and the carbon filter so it will be better then what you get from the tap
