MYTH BUSTING
Today’s modern InSinkErator Food Waste Disposers are a far cry from the disposers of the early 80’s. The technology has come a long
way and this is testament to our commitment to continually improving the concept we invented over 75 years ago. Yet there are some
myths that exist so let’s take a look at those now.
THE NOISY
DISPOSER IS A
THING OF THE
PAST
The days of the
roaring disposer
beneath the sink
are gone with the
Evolution Series
®
disposer. We
remember when you
needed to shout over
them to be heard.
Not anymore. These
new units feature an
Anti-vibration mount
®
,
Multi-Layer
®
sound
insulation and a noise-
reducing sink baffle
that reduces the noise
coming up through the
sink opening.
LET’S TALK
ENVIRONMENT
Ground food
scraps are sent via
household plumbing
to the sewerage
system instead of to
landfill which is not
an environmentally
responsible solution.
At capable treatment
plants methane may
be captured from
ground food waste
and recycled into
renewable energy.
NOT A BLADE
IN SIGHT
InSinkErator Food
Waste Disposers
do NOT contain
blades. Instead they
have small lugs on
a spinning plate that
act like a hammer
effect breaking down
the food. Once small
enough the food waste
is then passed through
the small holes in a
stationary grind ring
and passes into the
sewerage system.
CHEAP AS
CHIPS TO RUN
InSinkErator Food
Waste Disposers are
very energy efficient
costing less than $3.50
to run in electricity
per year.
MINIMAL WATER
Food waste disposers
are low in water
usage, using less
than 1% of the total
household water
consumption. This
is the equivalent to
approximately one
toilet flush per day.
UNLIKE A
BIN THEY
NEVER NEED
EMPTYING
An InSinkErator Food
Waste Disposer
fits to your existing
plumbing under
your kitchen sink
therefore never
needs emptying.
After food is ground
it travels through the
sewerage system to a
wastewater treatment
plant just as the
waste from the toilet
would for treatment.
Remember you can
retro fit a disposer if it
is not installed at the
time of build.
GUESS WHAT
THEY CAN
GRIND??
While InSinkErator
Food Waste
Disposers are ideal
for disposing of fruit
and veggie scraps
they also eliminate
bones, seafood, meat
products, dairy, coffee
grounds and much
more. Evolution 200
can grind practically
all food waste and
is ideal for more
challenging food
scraps such as stringy
vegetables.
