Amazon.com Product Description

InSinkErator® Evolution Series® Disposers feature patented MultiGrind® and SoundSeal® technologies, which means they grind more with less noise. The Evolution Septic Assist® Food Waste Disposer is specifically designed for homes with septic systems. Each time the disposer is activated, a citrus-scented Bio-Charge® solution containing natural microorganisms that help break down food waste is injected into the grind chamber. The Evolution Septic Assist® features MultiGrind® to grind everything from artichokes to rib bones, and SoundSeal® technology that cuts noise levels by up to 40% over standard disposers.

Evolution Technology: Grind More, Hear Less
For nearly eight decades, InSinkErator® has built more than 100 million food waste disposers. Now the company has put everything it has learned into a line of disposers that sets dramatic new standards for performance. Evolution Series® disposers feature innovative technologies--MultiGrind® and SoundSeal®--that address users' two most common requests: improved grinding ability and reduced noise.

Liquify Waste with MultiGrind™ Technology With the Septic Assist's MultiGrind™ feature, you can efficiently grind difficult food items like bones. This two-stage technology uses a GrindShear Ring® that enables you to grind food waste significantly better than you could in any previous disposer. With the Evolution Septic Assist®, celery, potato peels, artichokes, rib bones, and more are virtually liquefied to safely flow into your septic system. You'll enjoy a cleaner food preparation area, and less bagged garbage cluttering your home. 40% Less Noise with SoundSeal™ Technology SoundSeal™ Technology utilizes an Anti-Vibration Mount®, an Anti-Vibration Tailpipe Mount™, and Quiet Collar® Sink Baffle, so you can hold a conversation with elevated voices while the disposer is running. This technology also includes SoundLimiter™ insulation to reduce noise levels by up to 40% compared to standard disposers.

Which Evolution Series® Food Waste Disposer is Right for You?
You can choose between five Evolution Series® models, all featuring the patented MultiGrind® and SoundSeal® technologies. Each disposer is specifically made with a particular consumer in mind.

'Evolutionary' Disposer is Easy to Install
Designed with a 3/4-horsepower Dura-Drive® Induction Motor, the Evolution Septic Assist® is truly 'evolutionary'--giving you the horsepower you need to grind more types of food waste than standard disposers. An added bonus, the Evolution Septic Assist's 40-ounce stainless steel grind chamber and grind component is built to handle more volume than other disposers.

The Evolution Septic Assist® food waste disposer is constructed with a stainless steel Quick Lock® sink mount for easy installation. All InSinkErator® food waste disposers are built with this feature, making replacement of older units a breeze--simply disconnect and replace your old disposer using the same sink mount.

, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The Evolution Septic Assist® food waste disposer is a practical and environmentally responsible way to help reduce the 31 million tons of solid waste generated from food scraps in the U.S. each year.

Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the Evolution Septic Assist® sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area).

Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of ahousehold's total water consumption. In fact, the Evolution Septic Assist® features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances.

We Come To You® Parts and Labor Warranty
The Evolution Septic Assist® is backed by an exclusive four-year We Come to You® In-Home Service Warranty. This warranty from InSinkErator® includes free house calls (including parts and labor) for the entire warranty period.

5.0 out of 5 stars InSinkErator is still the best, August 15, 2008

This review is from: InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is the 2nd disposal that I have installed. Our old house was on county sewer, so we did not need the added benefits of the Septic Assist. It was much more difficult to install than the new one.

The box includes nearly everything you need to install it. The only other things you need to have on hand is the plumber's putty to seal the flange in the sink, and some romex to attach the power. I did the job solo, but it would have been helpful to have another pair of hands to hold the drain in the sink while I cliped on the locking ring. Now that InSinkErator has the removable rubber seal that slips into the drain from the top, mounting the unit to the twist lock under the sink was a breeze. Since the power was already run to an outlet under the sink, I had this installed in under an hour.

I don't know how long the bottle of Septic Assist will last, but we have used it for a week without a noticable lowering of the contents of the bottle.

Running the unit is much quieter than the old ones. It's not silent, but the combination of vibration dampers and insulated chassis makes it quiet enough to talk over. It's more of a hum than a roar.

All in all, a relief to have a disposal again at the new house. Of course, only time will tell what impact it will have when we need to get the septic pumped. We plan to have it pumped every 2 years in order to keep the risk of overflow to a minimum.

This review is from: InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had this disposer for over 6 years with no issues.

I had my septic tank pumped 7 years ago and again this fall. Seven years ago I was told it was nearly full and a good thing that I called them out. This fall I was asked if I had it pumped every year and when I said that it had been 7 years ago, they were stunned. They told me it was not even 25% full and I shouldn't have had them come out. That my issues were with water, not the tank. Considering that I added this disposer shortly after the last pumping with zero impact to the septic system/tank tells me that it works.

The BioCharge can be expensive when purchased locally (ususally 25% higher), but is a little more reasonable when bought through Amazon. Either way, that is a planned expense and averages between 3 and 4 times per year.

5.0 out of 5 stars InSinkErator Septic Assist, November 25, 2008

Phil I "Phil" (Inverness, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'm really glad to finally have a disposal for this house that is on septic. No matter how diligent we were, some food particles always ended up in the sink and periodically caused drain line problems.

Installation was straight forward even though I did not have an existing disposal to replace. My two biggest challenges were getting an electric outlet under the sink and removing the old corroded sink flange.

For electric I mounted a GFCI outlet under the sink and added the optional power cord kit and sink top switch. This eliminated the need to add a wall switch since I did not have an existing disposal.

To remove the corroded flange (5 minutes max) I used a moto-tool with cutting wheel - I was working solo and didn't have anyone to help me muscle the old nut and flange apart - it just kept spinning in the sink.

As mentioned elsewhere the only other thing I needed to purchase was plumbers putty, and I bought a new hole saw for my drill to drill through the solid surface countertop for the sink top switch. Under the sink I was able to reuse all of the existing PVC plumbing where new parts weren't provided.

After a month of occasional use the Septic Assist bottle is still 7/8 full. I will still maintain the septic system with pumping every 2-3 years but I'm hoping this helps with the drain line issues inside the house.

It is much quieter than I expected and the sink top switch works great. I couldn't be more pleased with this product.
