Hi all. I have a nice RO water filter system under my sink at home that I would like to move into my new ClassA motorhome. For those who are unfamliar with how RO systems work, heres a brief intro. The reverse osmosis filter(membrane) filters nearly all minerals and chemicals out of the water - but while doing so it has a self-cleaning mechanism that uses additional unfiltered water to clean itself. So due to this self-cleaning, for a gallon of filtered water the system wastes about 2-3 gallons of unfiltered water to keep the membrane clean and it is sent down the drain.

Now in an RV, I would prefer not to just dump that water on to the ground or worse, fill up my grey water tank with it. It should be perfectly fine water for washing hands, showers, flushing toilets - so I would like to pipe it back into my clear water tank. Any ideas how best to accomplish this? Will I need to drill a new hole somewhere in the clear water tankor are there existing openings I might be able to utilize? Im as much of a newb as you can be in the world of RVing. Any advice or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
