InSinkErator is still the best
This is the 2nd disposal that I have installed. Our old house was on county sewer so we did not need the added benefits of the Septic Assist. It was much more difficult to install than the new one.
The box includes nearly everything you need to install it. The only other things you need to have on hand is the plumber's putty to seal the flange in the sink and some romex to attach the power. I did the job solo but it would have been helpful to have another pair of hands to hold the drain in the sink while I cliped on the locking ring. Now that InSinkErator has the removable rubber seal that slips into the drain from the top mounting the unit to the twist lock under the sink was a breeze. Since the power was already run to an outlet under the sink I had this installed in under an hour.
I don't know how long the bottle of Septic Assist will last but we have used it for a week without a noticable lowering of the contents of the bottle.
Running the unit is much quieter than the old ones. It's not silent but the combination of vibration dampers and insulated chassis makes it quiet enough to talk over. It's more of a hum than a roar.
All in all a relief to have a disposal again at the new house. Of course only time will tell what impact it will have when we need to get the septic pumped. We plan to have it pumped every 2 years in order to keep the risk of overflow to a minimum.More detail ...
