Hi guys... So I have a 125G and I use a 3-stage RO unit to auto top-off the tank. However, I'm moving and I'm setting up the new tank now. I bought new filters for the RO and a new membrane and hooked it up to fill the new tank with clean water. Though, I realized that I'm wasting 3x more water than I get out of the RO unit - it's one of those self-cleaning ones. So now I'm wondering if this is just overkill.
Should I keep my RO unit as is, with all its waste... OR
Should I bypass the membrane and just add another carbon filter and maybe a phosphate/silicate chamber to it?
(currently, there is a 1 micron prefilter, CAG filter and deionizing filter).
Thanks for the input.
