What do you do with runoff water in drain to waste

My waste dumps into my floor sump, during the summer I run a handful of veggies in a bed that I divert that water into. Works great.
? Do you dilute the nute run off or use it straight up? Thought it would be to hot for veggies.
Technically it gets watered down, the floor sump catches condensation from the AC and dehumidifier as well. Plus any rain we get rinses the bed out. My run off is only around 500ppm so just about anything can handle a little bit of that.
collect and re-use the runoff.
goes to garden and house plants. everyone i give it to just pours it on straight. it's just an occasional feed tho, and is fine with the regular watering. in winter we throw it on the snow where the garden would be.

This is good to know. I have been dumping my old res solution down a floor drain in my shop. The drain runs out back and through a rock wall. It empties about six feet from a massive forsythia bush. Last spring it exploded with the most yellow I have ever seen on it. Can't wait for this spring. My solution would be way to hot for house plants but maybe spread over the frozen gardens.

I am mixing my nutes at 50 % (advanced Nutrients) , so my runoff is going to be 1/2 strength. I have 2 Tomatoes growing and about 20 more flowers, so its a win win.
