Aero-Gro calls it low-waste or high-efficiency because those terms describe the system accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy not return RO concentrate to the home's plumbing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome “zero-waste” systems pump the concentrate into the hot-water line rather than sending it to a drain. That prevents drain discharge but does not make the concentrate disappear. Aero-Gro's current efficiency package favors a simpler approximately 1:1 design without deliberately introducing concentrated salts into another household water line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the permeate pump use electricity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It uses hydraulic energy from the RO concentrate stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes remineralization make the water strongly alkaline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system adds modest amounts of calcium and magnesium to improve taste and bring the purified water toward a more balanced pH. Aero-Gro will not promise a fixed pH because source-water chemistry and usage conditions vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill every home achieve exactly 1:1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Approximately 1:1 is a realistic manufacturer-stated expectation for the equipped system, but temperature, pressure, water chemistry and maintenance affect actual recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStandard installation scope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled pricing covers a standard under-sink installation using an accessible, functional cold-water shutoff, suitable drain connection, available faucet opening and adequate cabinet space.
