Re: Food disposal question
My family and I have had great success using bio-additives in our septic systems. All of us use disposals/disposers/food waste grinders. Note that I come from a very, very, very large family (Mormons and Catholics) and very rural (Texas, Idaho, and Utah) family. Figured I would open that can of worms for everyone.
My water heater is, indeed, also a hot water heater by the very nature of the fact that it is a tank water heater and not a tankless water heater. Several years ago when this topic came up here and elsewhere, I determined that the thermostat setting on my Richmond water heater is about 6°F increments with the manufacturer's recommended setting providing water that is at about 121°F. Consequently, when the water temperature in the tank get to about 115°F, the thermostat causes the burners to light to heat up the 115°F water back to 121°F. The last time I held my little ol' finger under 115°F water, it was, indeed, hot. Ergo, our tank water heaters are, indeed, hot water heaters. A great reason to go to a tankless water heater when next you need a water heater; prevents a lot of wasted energy heating that hot water to an even hotter temperature.
