I don't have a disposal (Disposer) at my current residence & will probably install one soon . I installed a 1/2 HP disposal at my former residence & a 1/2 HP at my mothers home . Neither had any problems with having enough power to grind whatever was put in them . I see disposals from 1/3 HP to over 1 HP . Is there any benefit to installing a higher HP disposal ? Is there any brands that I should avoid because of known problems ? Does a disposal that drains to a private septic system pose any significant problems for the septic system ? Thanks in advance .
