QUESTION
Why is there so much wastage of water in RO water purifiers?

Dear India Water Portal,

A thought flashed across my mind as to why there is so much wastage of water in the RO water purifiers from leading companies. Officially they announce that it is upto 60 percent. I did a small survey and I am convinced that there is lot more wastage. And the pipe is put into the sink outlets.

While all efforts are being made to conserve water, the products promoted in the market increase wastage and there is no control or monitoring of this wastage. Could you please help me by giving me contacts with whom I can share this concern and also your inputs?

Thanks
