As to not waste hose-water while rinsing pleated filter cartridges, can it be collected and then given to plants, trees, lawns, etc.? I ask to seek clarification, as it's not pool water being used for rinsing, and therefore it's not pool water to be given to plants. A similar question was asked back in 2008, but the OP could have meant back-washing a sand/DE filter, which in that case, would be pool water.
The rinse-water is brown, mostly caused by sediment from airborne dust. However, are other chemicals and salts present on the cartridges that could be potentially harmful to plants? I use the BBB method, so would any precipitates be present on the cartridge and therefore rinsed off?
Thanks!
