Forever chemicals have polluted the water supply of 60,000 people, threatening human health, wildlife and the wider ecosystem. But activists say this is just the tip of the Pfas iceberg
A reverse osmosis filter will run you $150 for parts - plus install and yearly filter changes. Start with that for costs. I would assume eu costs are similar but that is sometimes very wrong.
it goes to the sewer system which needs to be able to take care of things anyway. The amount of waste water through a RO system insignificant - your toilet flushing needs will use more water than your RO drinking water needs. (a typical low flush toilet, though some camping toilets use less)
Haven’t looked at them in a while, but I know the aquarium ro filters produce 1:1 waste: water. Could certainly be more efficient now, but I haven’t researched in a while

And what to do with the waste water from the reverse osmosis (now more contaminated than the input)? And who pays for the water wasted?

there are different systems with different efficiency ratings. However even the worst don’t use much water - you don’t drink much water in a day.
Flush the toilet with it?
