Benefits of a Kitchen Sink with a Garbage Disposal

For many, food waste disposal means scraping food off the plate and into the kitchen garbage can. Failure to promptly move trash outdoors may lead to unpleasant odors and attract critters around your waste bin. By simply feeding your sink disposal food waste, you can make cleaning up after meals much easier without the long-term headaches improper waste management can cause. 

How Does a Garbage Disposal Work?

A food waste disposer will collect food waste as it passes through your sink and into the grinding chamber. These disposers feature spinning disks which, when activated, work to break down the food scraps into tiny pieces. 

Because the food waste is ground down so finely, it allows you to remove it down your sink without worrying about your home plumbing being clogged or over worked. Without a kitchen sink garbage disposal, the food scraps that inevitably find their way into your plumbing will cause strain on your pipes over time. This includes clogging drains, wearing them down and potentially necessitating costly repairs. 

Which Motor Type Do You Need?

When selecting your kitchen garbage disposal, it is important to note that there are different motor types for you to choose from: induction and permanent magnet motors.

• Induction motor:Relatively quiet compared to permanent magnet motors despite their size and weight, induction motor garbage disposals can grind food waste to varying degrees depending on your needs.
• Permanent magnet motors: Smaller and weighing less than induction motors, permanent magnet motors can pick up maximum speed almost instantly, getting to work at full power in no time. They work faster and more efficiently when dealing with smaller waste loads. 

Food Waste Disposer Horse Power Rating

Judging how powerful your food disposal needs to be will depend on a few things, including how many people live in your home and how frequently you cook.

The more people you have the more horse power your garbage disposal will need. With fewer people and more infrequent cooking, the opposite is true. As a rule of thumb, aim for 1/3 and ½ HP for smaller households, and ¾ HP and higher for larger households.
