I think it's fluff tbh... I was just in a rental in San Francisco, and it had a GD(insinkerator brand), one would think SF would be the first to "ban" a GD...
I think what happened is the tennants didn't run the water while grinding, so it sludged up instead of dispearsing.

Being booked solid for the next 24 hours or so, I call a plumber to take care of the problem. He calls after doing the job to say that sweet potato peelings were run through the garbage disposer (GD) and bunched up in the "J bend" causing the blockage. He removed and replaced the trap, and took out the peelings. He proceeds to say that this house was built before the use of garbage disposers, and is not designed to have a GD. He recommends removing the disposer and restoring the original configuration under the sink. I am not inclined to follow his reommendation, believing it to be a desirable feature for residents. He says that NYC and other cities have banned garbage disposers. > > My question: Why have some cities banned GD's? > > Jerry > 1982 240D > Does not run on potato peels > > > __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 6133 (20110518) __________ > > The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. > > http://www.eset.com > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
