How does the cover control work? If you have to keep water running AND put the cover on how does the water get into the disposal while its running?

The cover water from the faucet to flow through at full speed, but there is no splattering. We have had this disposal for about a year and really like it.

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

Not silly, I had the same problem. I assumed it screwed on and off, it doesn't. You have to pull it straight up off of the rubber fitting. Then when you reinstall on the sink, you push it back down into the disposal an tighten everything around it. Drove me nuts until I figured that part out.

By hooking up the drain hose to the rear of the unit you enable the continuous flow function to work- there is a float inside the reservoir that will make the unit stop when it is full of water (kind of like how the float in the back of your toilet works!) by hooking up the hose you subsequently bypass the float from ever sensing the unfit is full.

Bought this after my cousin played music on it under running water in the sink. I have never submerged mine completely. The cover for the charger input does not close firmly leading you to believe water could get in there. Not sure what would happen at that point. Hope that helps

It will shut off when water runs all the way out. If yours does not shut off you may have a problem.

Hello, On installing the mulch cover you can just leave your discharge chute on and install the mulch cover under it. Makes it fast and easy. Thank, CF

Correct. It is counter-intuitive, but that's how it works. You run garden hose water through it and it sucks a lot of additional water and discharges both out of its hose.

Marcus. Although mine is installed, I have not used it a lot, but you definately want to put it on a separate Switch and turn it off when not using. It is just for washdown during fishing or after heading back. It comes with a Switch and all the necessary parts, but I wired to my console panel switch. It needs water, not dry, or would definately keep running to try and build pressure and run down the battery. You could keep it on all the time, but in my case it shares the intake with the LIve Well and you cannot run both at the same time anyway. Hope that helps.

Ha! Good question!! I had always assumed the same but never considered it letting water in. I guess just don't set it down in a puddle...

I would highly recommend you use a splash guard. It not only stops water from splashing, but also stops debris from flying out during use.There are some garbage disposals that dont have splash guards, but they require a cover/lid to be on the drain before the unit can run. These are called batch feed disposers.Also, I'm not certain, but I believe if you don't have the lid safety feature that batch feed disposers have, you'll need the splash guard installed if you ever have a home inspection when selling your house.

Hi Michael,I do not know. There is nothing in the installation instruction sheet that speaks to this. But, be advised - it may be a good feature to keep: shortly after installing this control switch, our electric power to the house shut off and then turned back on quickly (lights flickered once) and the garbage disposal turned on by itself! I was around to turn it off right away but if I were out would the disposal have run all day without the 20 second shut-off?Eddie

No it does not need to be running. Simply connect the can to the inlet and spray. The water should come out of the outlet. That is all.

Yes...it's a generic on/off switch and has nothing to do with disposals. The button you press pushes air to a switch plugged into a typical AC outlet, which makes it electrically safe in a wet environment. The air switch turns an outlet on the unit on/off. You can plug anything you want into the outlet on the unit...disposal, table lamp, ice cream maker...you get the picture. Been using it for a while now and have had no issues. Still recommend it.

If the unit is buried in an area that typically puddles and/or to which runoff will collect, then I suspect ground water will collect in the DD. The bottom, of course, is open. I think more likely is that water you add to DD will drain out into surrounding soil and refilling to keep biology alive will require constant attention. That is why we have yet to install out DD.

I ran it for about 3-4 hours each time no problems it seems to run fine. I don't leave a lot of water on my cover.
