"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."

"Sunset Plumbers provided prompt and accurate service. He knew exactly how to resolve the issue and pricing was affordable. He was able to resolve an issue with sewage backup that others were never able to fully fix. My husband and I are beyond pleased and happy we can now utilize our toilets and tub"

"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."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.
