Re: Question for plumbers You can't have a garbage disposal if you have a septic tank but you sure can have a dishwasher.

I have a customer who was told by their plumber that they must have a GD to have a dishwasher. Is this true?
That is BS and you should tell your customer to avoid that plumber at all costs. |

Is this the norm for most places? Septic tanks are plentiful up this way and a fair amount have a garbage disposal.

You can now purchase fantastic garbage disposers made especially for people with septic systems. These disposals differ from ordinary ones in that they come with a nifty liquid biochemical dispenser. Each time you operate the disposer, some of the biochemical additive is automatically injected and mixed with the food sludge. Hundreds of millions of beneficial bacteria are transported into the septic tank and immediately begin to breakdown the food waste. These added bacteria help to keep the bacteria count within the tank at a healthy, active level. Tests have shown that these new disposers actually minimize the amount of sludge buildup within a septic tank. The intervals between normal septic tank maintenance can increase thus saving you money.
Grease and oils are the only food waste I would not pour into the disposer. Grease buildup can cause major problems within a septic system. |

Well I had assumed you were stating it was against code or something like that. From reading (at least up here) it is recommended not to use them but if you do you would have to get pumped out more often.

Code I doubt if it says anything but I really don't know. |
