The 'waste' output from an R/O system will have much higher mineral
content than the input water. If those minerals buffer the soil pH you
may need to amend the area watered by it or select plants appropriate to
the pH.

Thanks Carl. That info is helpful as well but I was really
looking for suggestions on how to distribute the waste
water ( hardware IE 1/4 plastic tube to whatever )
so that the water is spread over a larger area than
what results from output of one 1/4 inch hose.

TIA again
