And how often this very bucket, not taken out in time, becomes the reason for the appearance of an unpleasant smell in the house. Solve the "problem of the kitchen bucket" and make the atmosphere in the house easier in every way will help the food shredder for the sink .

How to choose household food shredder?

What is a food shredder for the kitchen? This is a special device, mounted between the drain of a kitchen sink and a sewer pipe and grinding food waste to the state of dust. The ground food waste is washed off with a current of water from a chopper and poisoned in a journey through the intricacies of the city sewage system.

According to the type of action, the dispensers (and this is exactly what the second name of the shredders sounds) are divided into electrical and non-electric. The first work from the power grid and grind waste through a system of cam mechanisms. The latter are activated by a stream of water, and the rubbish is ground with sharp knives.

Today there is no problem to buy any type of dispenser, and they all have high performance, low noise and safety. So it is necessary to choose a chopper based on personal preferences and peculiarities of wiring.

Connecting food shredder

So, the treasured device was acquired and it remains only to mount it under the sink. Of course, no one can cope with this better than a professional, but if you did not succeed in finding this, you can also connect the chopper yourself. It should be remembered that to connect an electrical dispenser you need a separate waterproof and grounded outlet.

Let's get to work:

  1. Disconnect the sink of the kitchen sink from the sewage system and gently wash all the parts.
  2. We install the gasket running along with the dispenser onto the flange of the shell.
  3. We fasten the dispenser to the sink, using for this purpose "native" fixing elements.
  4. We connect the dispenser with the sewer system using a smooth-walled pipe. Do not use corrugated pipes for this, because in their bends, the remains of food waste will accumulate.
  5. We check the system for leaks and if everything is in order, we connect the device to the power supply network.

After that, the appliance can be used absolutely calmly, and, of course, you should properly take care of it - rinse with plenty of cold water without adding cleaning and detergents.
