  The amount of mass loss in symbiotic systems is investigated, specifically
mass loss via the formation of jets in R Aquarii (R Aqr). The jets in R Aqr
have been observed in the X-ray by Chandra over a four year time period. The
jet changes on times scales of a year and new outflows have been observed.
Understanding the amount of mass and the frequency of ejection further
constrain the ability of the white dwarf in the system to accrete enough mass
to become a Type 1a supernova progenitor. The details of multi-wavelength
studies, such as speed, density and spatial extent of the jets will be
discussed in order to understand the mass balance in the binary system. We
examine other symbiotic systems to determine trends in mass loss in this class
of objects.
