Yes, Insinkerator uses a Bio-charge system to inject microorganisms into the disposal when it is in use. Waste is broken down by these microorganisms in your septic system which helps keep you septic system functioning properly. I recently purchased a septic disposal from www.overstock.com. Overstock had the cheapest price I could find on the internet and shipping was only $2.95.

Do you to have a garbage disposal with a dish washer?
You can have one or both. If you have a disposal, the dishwasher usually empties into it. This helps keep the disposal clean and any food particles from the dishwasher get chopped up. Any home can have a dishwasher, but if your home is on a septic system, a garbage disposal is distinctly discouraged.

Can salmonella contaminate your garbage disposal by putting eggshells in it?
If the eggs are contaminated and carrying a good deal of the bacteria, then obviously, that sickening little organism is going to invade your garbage disposal. Then again, why would you care? I am sure the garbage disposal is rife with all sorts of germs. When thinking of septic environments, any drain - equipped with a disposal or not certainly comes to mind. Run hot water and a disinfectant (bleach possibly)down the drain and in the sink surface if you are concerned. Are you looking to bathe a baby in the sink or something? I wouldn't be putting a child in a sink with a disposal unit installed. Could lop off a leg or something!!!

Can install a garbage disposal on septic system?
Some health jurisdictions are moot on this important issue. Pulverized vegetables are the same density as water and tend to pass through the baffles and other traps inside the system designed to separate the solids and greases from the liquids. For this reason most experts discourage their use unless additional drainfield area is dedicated. The required dedication for garbage disposals can be as much as 50% more of the required drainfield area. Commercial garbage grinders are very hard on a septic system (higher waste strength.) Composting is the best solution for wet organic kitchen waste if available.
Where does the waste from a garbage disposal go?
Depends on the country but almost always it ends up in the ocean, where it will decompose naturally. However, any other products in our sewage, like plastics, also end up in the ocean, but can greatly damage the ecosystems there (Just search up "the great Pacific garbage patch")
