Terence McCann Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 How do these work? A switch to reverse them perhaps? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 It simply starts ccw and runs that direction until power is cut and when power restored, it starts cw. Every time it is switched on it starts in the opposite direction it was running when it was switched off. Once got a nasty letter from ISE corp informing me to promptly change my inspection form(s); disposer not Disposal. They were not friendly!

kurt Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 That's funny. I suppose it is a disposer instead of a disposal, but geez, who the heck calls it a disposer? I think "disposal" was once a marketing term by one of the mfg's., as in "dispose all". Now that I think of it, maybe that's why they were PO'd; they don't want their disposer getting mixed up w/someone else's "disposal all".

charlieb Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Four or five years ago there was a show called "how's that work". One segment was on "disposers". The assertion was ony one company in the US manufactured disposers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 They whacked Bob Villa for using disposal. All this was abt 1988 and I believe now the term is in the public domain. Also in the realm of Inspector Lore - New York City did not allow disposers until early 1990's. Seems there were still wood sewer lines and all that extra food wrecked havoc on them.

Paul MacLean Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Texas SOP calls it a "disposer." I've used the term so long I don't even think "disposal" any more. Of course I still ask for a Kleenex and Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
