Method of water discharge management

A method of water discharge management in a water processing system comprising:

• providing a supply of a first solution;
• providing a supply of a second solution;
• selectively supplying the first solution to a water processing system and the second solution to the water processing system;
• discharging a discharge water from the water processing system;
• and
• implementing a reclamation protocol comprising:
• controllably and selectively directing the discharge water from the water processing system directly through a first multi-way valve to a waste outlet during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a first selected criteria, and to a second multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a second selected criteria;
• controllably and selectively directing the discharge water received from the first multi-way valve through the second multi-way valve to a first tube during a period in which the discharge water does not satisfy a third criteria, or to a second tube fluidly coupled to a regenerant solution storage container during a period in which the discharge water satisfies the third selected criteria;
• and
• controllably and selectively directing the discharge water from the waste outlet through an external drain line, wherein the discharge water in the external drain line comprises non-recaptured turbid liquid waste;
• wherein the first multi-way valve and the second multi-way valve are controlled by the water processing system which also controls and implements a regeneration cycle of the water processing system and the reclamation protocol;
• wherein the second selected criteria and the third selected criteria are each selected from the group consisting of a concentration of soft water ions, a concentration of hard water ions, a ratio of soft water ions to hard water ions, turbidity of the discharged water, and clarity of the discharged water;
• and
• wherein the second selected criteria and the third selected criteria are different selected criteria from the group.
