I have an existing wall switch for disposal. Will that be a problem?

Our wall switch was located under the sink (behind the door) and it was just inconvenient to turn on and off the disposal while the door was open and usually with wet hands. Having the "non electrical" switch located on the sink is much more convenient. Just leave the wall switch in the on position if you used the switched socket for your InSinkErator control.

No, as long as you can access the wiring as the pressure switch is controlled by an electrically plugged in module that becomes the switch. Unless your handy with electrical, you may need an electrician.

No, an existing wall switch will not interfere with the operation of your disposal. An InSinkErator power module connects with your disposal and an electrical outlet (under your sink), but the switch operates on an air pump, not electricity. I have attached a link to the InSinkErator installation guide.http://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/Documents/Disposer/sinktop_switch_brochure.pdf

You can leave the wall switch in and use this switch; but the wall switch must be left in the "on" position all the time.

Should be no problem provided it is properly installed in place of present electrical on/off switch.

No problem using this switch for your garbage disposal. Nothing special needed

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

I replaced my old wall outlet with this one. I hooked up existing wiring and attached it. Idk if you need anything else.

As long as the connections and switch are properly sealed, you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes. Just be VERY careful disconnecting the existing unit as the connections are fragile.

Yes, your disposal just has to be wired for a three prong plug. Some come prewired while others are not. The switch plugs into your outlet and the disposal plugs into the switch. (It won't block the other outlet for your dishwasher.)

I use my existing in wall wire setup. Wires provided are not graded for in wall use, FYI.

You shall use the existing cord from your old disposal. Otherwise, you may buy one from Home Depot. Good luck.

I've not actually used the switch but I wouldn't trust it for that purpose. Dirt could get inside it and the switch itself doesn't appear to be waterproof.

Yes you can use the normal breaker and wall switch. Any that has a metal reflector and is rated for a 250 watt light(important so it won't melt).

Not sure about your existing switch, but it should work. My wall switch works, but I also mounted the remote on the wall, because it comes with a neat little holster for it, because it has a dimmer on the remote and you can easily adjust speed settings with it. Your dimmer will probably work, but you may not have the ability to adjust the speed with the wall switch you already have. This is an outstanding, sleek, and well made product I would recommend. I installed it myself. It even has a hook to hold the weight while you mount and hook up the wiring, if I remember correctly.

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

Sure.......just make sure that you use a GFCI outlet to connect your garbage disposal to.

As long as it looks the same as your old one . Blow up the picture of the switch on the Amazon web site

Yes, with limitations. The unit simply mounts on the inside cabinet wall and you plug the disposal into it. If you plug a multi plug adaptor into the switch, you can plug multiple disposals into it. The limitation is the total power used. Two units shouldn't be a problem. But be aware that all the units will run when you activate the switch. You cannot run the disposals independently from one unit.
