Premiere H2O has a system that dumped the water into the hot water line, similar to a hot water loop, but in reverse. There’s a lot of caveats with that arrangement (doesn’t really work with a tankless water heater, for example).

Wait, they push the waste/brine into the hot water line? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of filtration?

I was thinking more of using it typical gray water usage like watering plants.

I imagine despite the term brine it is still incredibly clean water

Hot water is for external use only.

... you’ve never used hot water to fill up, say, a pot of water for cooking?

You still absorb an astounding amount of chemicals through your skin.
