Tech Tip ? Always use cold water when operating the disposal and run the water a few minutes before and after as well as during use. The disposal works by grinding the garbage into a puree and water acts as a lubricant to move the matter through the pipes. Letting the water run before use will coat the pipes. Running water during the disposal process helps liquefy the garbage, and keeping the tap flowing afterward helps wash down. Food particles, which remain in your disposal, can cause odors. Put a combination of ice cubes and lemon peel in the disposal, run it for about thirty seconds, and then run cold water through the disposal. Disposal cleaner or degreaser may help too. Because a garbage disposal chops large amounts of waste an occasional clog is bound to occur. Don't use chemicals to break up a clog. If the solution doesn't work you will have a pipe filled with caustic chemicals. This could deteriorate the integrity of the pipe and make for a huge mess down the road.
How to Maintain a Garbage Disposal?
Discovering clogs or jams in garbage disposals is not uncommon, but measures can be taken to prevent them from ever forming. The blades in a garbage disposal will become dull over time, and many home repair experts suggest feeding a variety of materials, such as chicken bones or glass, into the disposer to sharpen the blades. Regardless of what you might hear, the only safe material to feed into your disposal to sharpen the blades is ice. You should also avoid feeding materials with husks, such as corn, and stringy vegetables, such as celery, into your disposal to avoid a jam. In addition, avoid pouring grease down the drain as it can clog.
Popular Kitchen Garbage Disposal.
If you're in the market for a garbage disposal, chances are you've come across a few different models by Insinkerator. That's because they're the best-selling brand on the market - and for good reason. The company points to their high-performance motors, easy installation and in-home service warranties as hallmarks of their disposal lines. However, some competitors turn their noses up at Insinkerator's exclusive auto-reverse grind system, claiming that superior engineering eliminates the need for such system. Of course, Insinkerator claims that the patented system is central to chopping food up efficiently and keeping the disposal sanitary. Insinkerator also manufactures the popular Badger line of garbage disposals as well as the Evolution series made for Lowes Home Improvement and Whirlpool.
