When we remodeled our kitchen a year ago we had the Insinkerator Evolution Septic Assist installed. We had lived 20 years without a disposal because of being on a septic system. Unfortunately, we did not read the instructions to the disposal and did not realize we had to replace the BioCharge – I didn’t even know there was anything to replace. So last week we ended up on a Saturday having to call the septic pump people because of a clog in the pipe. The guy showed me all the grease and food gunk causing the problem and said a disposal cannot be used w a septic system So we decided we’d been sold a bill of goods and were not going to use the disposal anymore. Then, I thought I might as well look at the instructions for the heck of it and now have ended up here. After reading the positive reviews of other septic system homeowners, I am ordering 4 BioCharges, with plans to use them over the year, then have the septic yearly pump-out and see the results. ‘Sure don’t want to end up having to pay $500 to get unclogged again.

I will post again after the year has passed with the outcome.

A question: I was wondering if you who have had good experience follow the directions exactly on putting the food into the disposal – ie running cold water first, then slowly feeding food in, then running more cold water, etc?

PS Because I had to rate this to submit my review, I gave it a 5* based on others reviews w similar situations to mine.
