System for automatic water discharge management

A water discharge management system comprising:

• a water processing system having a selectable supply of a first solution, a selectable supply of a second solution, a water discharge passage for a discharge water, and a waste outlet;
• a controller that controllably connects inlet and outlet passages to the water processing system, the controller having an executable water regeneration cycle and provided with an executable reclamation protocol for reclaiming discharged water;
• a plurality of controllable multi-way valves, including a first and a second controllable multi-way valve in operable electronic communication with and controllable by the controller;
• wherein the reclamation protocol comprises executable instructions that:
• controllably and selectively direct the discharge water from the water processing system directly through the first multi-way valve to the waste outlet during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a first selected criteria, and to the second multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a second selected criteria;
• controllably and selectively direct 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 selected 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 direct 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 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.
