its only a waste if you could have used your waterchange water instead of the garden hose. reduce your footprint when you can. thats the whole idea. dont waterchange and dump down a toilet or drain when it can go on your flowers, lawn, plants...
so in other words, you only eat what you grow without using any outside inputs of food, fertilizer (be they chem or organic), or water. plus all your urine and feces are composted on site?
I find that very unlikely. even if you live in Milagro (in tuscon, not phoenix), you're still doing the same thing running septic into the wetlands. no different that our fish septic going into the shrubs.
i dump my water into patch of mint and i swear they have grown so fast they are almost taking over the lawn.

And use that "treated water" to water your plants? That makes no sense.

Been using it on mine for years. Don't use it on food plants if you chemically treat but otherwise it's fine. Nitrates in the water is what powers aquaponic systems not outside chemical sources.
