Benefits of Installing a Garbage Disposal

The benefits of installing a garbage disposal include:

Helps you dispose of kitchen waste quickly
Reduces odors in the kitchen by getting rid of food waste
Reduces the amount of trash you throw out
Protects pipes from clogs and leaks by grinding up food

How to Buy a Garbage Disposal

As a general rule, a two-person home needs nothing more than ⅓ or ½ horsepower disposal. Homes larger than six people should invest in a one horsepower disposal and a ¾ horsepower model should take care of everything in between. When you call True Plumbing, we can help determine the disposal site that best suits the needs of your family.

Batch Feed and Continuous Feed Garbage Disposals

In addition to size, there are also two types of garbage disposals to consider: batch feed and continuous feed. Most homes utilize continuous feed disposals, which means the disposal will work as long as it is turned on. This is handy when a lot of work is to be done in the kitchen.

Batch disposals have a holding tank that accumulates waste until it is full and then activates when the lid is closed. Our plumbers can help you decide which type of disposal will work best for your sink.
