"We are pleased with our purchase this year of an EcoWater ERR3500R20 System with HydroLink Plus Wi-Fi to treat the municipal water service to our home in Sarasota. From start to finish, we have been pleased by installation, service and support provided by EcoWater Systems of Venice. Our new home water treatment system complements our ERO R335 reverse osmosis drinking water system installed by EcoWater in 2001. We received a Costco gift card equal to 10% rebate by purchasing our new EcoWater system at Costco thanks to Kenny and his team at EcoWater Systems of Venice.

"Coupon scam.  I purchased a coupon for $79 to give me up to $200 of work.  I had already tried to install my new garbage disposal but had some trouble loosening the bolts on the old one as I don't have a lot of strength.  I am a confirmed do-it-yourselfer but decided to spend the $ 79 and make it easy on myself.  He arrived promptly, and I had all laid out and the cabinet cleared and ready since I had already been working on it.  When the gentleman arrived he informed me the cost would be well over $100 as the coupon would only give me $79 discount.  I said that was not the agreement with the coupon and was ready to send him on his way when he recanted and said he had made a "mistake".  So he did the job for $79 which took less than an hour.  He did the job OK and the disposer works fine with no leaks.  He asked me to fill out an evaluation, which I did, explaining the issue with the coupon.  He took the evaluation and I'm sure it never got turned in.  I decided to just let it go, but now looking at other reviews recounting the same experience, I am sure this is a standard scam  with the coupons from this company so I decided to add my review.  Although the work was OK and the fellow was nice enough, I rate them low because of the scam."

"Oleg inspected the bathrooms, gave us excellent feedback, connected us with his plumber, and furnished a very reasonable estimate. He is informed, responsive, and very professional. We decided to use another contractor who had experience with the construction in our complex, but were very impressed with Oleg."

"Lamont did a great job on the many items I needed done. I had a list of work to be done but was having trouble finding one person who could or would do them all. After much searching I found Lamont and read his great reviews. Now I know why. He was able to complete everything on my list! From installing new storm door, replacing interior doors and hardware, repairing holes and painting closets, hanging ceiling fans, cutting marble backsplash and installing, etc. He is very patient and listens to what you want then completes the work nicely. He is polite, respectful, and professional. He was able to work me into his schedule quickly and completed the work in the amount of time estimated and for the price quoted. I highly recommend him for anything you need done and when I need something he is the only person I'll be calling.... I am very thankful to have found him."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.
