Alot! A simple setup like this isn't efficient. I can only guess somewhere between 15%-25% recovery. We only use 10-15 gals/day of RO during the summer. If you do some research you can figure out how to plumb the reject back into the feed to get better recovery. Or you might go with a setup that allows you to run at 250-300psi. But your membrane will have a shorter life.

Running at 225psi, I've had membranes last 10 years. So even a shorter life is still substantial. And it's the best drinking water on the planet.
