We just recently had to replace ours and the plumber told me one thing I had never heard before. He said that, from time to time depending on use, to pour some BOILING water through it. What he does is boil some water in a very large stockpot (like 8qt) and pour the whole thing down it. He said his use is probably about like mine (not at all heavy), and he does his about every 2 months. More frequently for heavier use.
Mine, as was my former one, is an Insinkerator. Funny thing - all I cared about most was that I could still use my plug things that I got from QVC (remember the ones they've sold to put there so silverware and stuff doesn't fall in?) because I remember people, some time back, saying that those didn't fit for theirs. Fortunately, that didn't become a problem.
Is that YOU @chickenbutt ?
HI! HI! HI!
SO very glad to see you.
Hope you are doing well.
😊

@tends2dogs It is supposed to grind bones, but I don't put bones in, nor anything fibrous such as pea pods, or rice as it expands. Most kitchen scraps except meat and dairy, go into the compost bin.
