Types of Garbage Disposals

When looking for a new garbage disposal, your first stop should be Abacus, as we stock a variety of brands and models. You can select from either the batch fed or continuous feed options. Additionally, there are electric and battery powered models available in a range of sizes and shapes, as well as standard and stainless steel versions.

Batch fed garbage disposals require that the user manually add food waste to the top by lifting a chamber cover, although the opening time is usually brief and the power usually shuts off as soon as the chamber is closed.

On the other hand, continuous feed disposals are activated when the user flips a switch and adds food waste constantly through the sink drain. As long as the switch is in the on position, the machine will run and you can add food scraps continuously.

Batch feed models are quieter and consume less energy, but continuous feed models grind food faster and are easier to use. Abacus technicians would be able to advise you on the best type of disposal for your kitchen given your particular needs and preferences.

Installing a Garbage Disposal

Installing a garbage disposal unit in your home requires a knowledgeable, experienced and licensed plumber. Before an installation is carried out, a plumber should examine the existing plumbing in the area and ensure that there is sufficient drainage capacity.

The unit should then be positioned correctly and secured firmly in place. If the plumbing was previously connected, the old connections should be disconnected. All wires should be connected according to the product's specifications. Additionally, the unit should be tested to ensure that it is working properly.

At Abacus, all our plumbers are bonded, licensed and insured, and committed to customer satisfaction, so you can trust that all your garbage disposal installation needs will be taken care of professionally and efficiently.
