How A Disposer Works

Turn on your cold tap, then the food waste disposer (bench mounted air switch). Put the food scraps into your sink and feed them into the InSinkErator flange that replaces your normal plughole. The food waste is then ground into tiny particles by an internal grind ring, with no blades involved. The food waste is virtually liquefied, then flushed out of the disposer to safely flow into your sewage system, not the storm water system.

InSinkErator disposers are designed to cope with most types of food waste, including small bones, meat, fish, peelings, eggshells and much, much more.

Cold water should always be running while a disposer is in operation and it should remain on for approximately 15 seconds after the disposer has finished grinding. The average daily water usage is equivalent to one toilet flush.
