Disposer Continuous Feed and Batch Feed Differences

A disposer grinds food into small particles allowing it to pass through plumbing. Garbage disposers (disposals) are safe to use with septic tanks. GE Appliances disposers have a powerful grinding action that reduces food waste to small particles, they are safe for any properly sized and maintained septic system.

The Two Disposer Types

Continuous Feed

Continuous feed disposers operate with a switch (on/off) and running water. These have a splash guard to prevent debris from splashing out. A stopper is included with the disposer.

Batch Feed

Batch feed disposers operate by adding food, inserting and locking the cap/stopper to turn on the disposer. The disposer turns off when the cap/stopper is removed.
