I have been dumping the "dirty" water from my RO filter into the plants and fruit trees. It got me thinking, is this okay? It's not bad for the trees or fruit, is it? :confused:

It's fine, it's still cleaner than the stuff coming from the tap.

The waste or flush water from your RO will be 20 to 25% higher in TDS than the tap water was originally. It has been through carbon filtration so it will not have chlorine and some volatiles which is a good thing.
