Isn't the reject ratio typically closer to 75%? At least, my filter at home has a reject ratio of 75%, which means the wastewater is only ~33% more ppm than the starting water.

Yeah that'll be right for a small scale unit, I think it's just that large commercial-scale RO plants have better reject ratios.
