Living the Dream
We have 4 of the insulated cups with lids. Two get put into dishwasher each night and two are fresh clean and ready to go in the morning.
That is pretty efficient, I suspect your water is fairly clean to begin with.I believe the documentation for our system says it wastes one part water for each four parts filtered
That's a good use for it. Most people don't like the taste of deionized water, hard water with calcium is usually preferred.we use very little of it, mostly for the steam iron and I rinse my eyeglasses with it.
