What is the purpose of a garbage disposal drain plug and how does it help in maintaining the functionality of the disposal unit?
The purpose of a garbage disposal drain plug is to prevent large food particles or objects from entering the disposal unit and causing clogs or damage. By using the drain plug, you can ensure that only small, easily grindable items go into the disposal, which helps maintain its functionality and prevents blockages.
How do you install a garbage disposal in a shaw sink?
The only issue would be the drain hole. I couldn't find a measurement of what it is. I would imagine a new sink would have a standard size hole. I do not know about an older one. I have never seen a smaller drain for a garbage disposal but that doesn't mean they are not available.
Why on a double bowl sink does the water shoot up and out of the other side when the garbage disposal is turned on if the pipes are all clear under the sink?
This will only happen if the drain pipe is clogged further down the line, near or in the wall. Possibly if the garbage disposal has been installed by an amateur, the 90 fitting going to the other tub has been installed the wrong way.
How would you clean the weep holes of a garbage disposal if your sink only drains when the garbage disposal is running?
A disposal creates centrifugal force and acts as a pump. Often a blocked or partially blocked sink drain can result in slow drains and a disposal will force water through. If it really is the disposal, try slowly adding coffee grounds and/or fibrous material like broccoli centers or pineapple centers while cold water and the disposal are running. If that doesn't solve the problem, have the drain cleaned and make certain that the drain vent works.
Is garbage disposal the responsibility only of the government?

Why would the kitchen sink only drain when the garbage disposal is running after trying to dispose of a bunch of grapes and eventually scooping out stems?
Answer The disposal is part of your drain line. It only allows liquid and small particles through it. The whole idea of the disposal is not to allow anything to big to go through the drainage system. The problem is over time the weep holes in the disposal can get clogged with grease. It can be taken apart and cleaned. You may also want to investigate the trap in the drain as to whether it is the right configuration or it is plugged. We had a similar problem and there was a drinking straw in the pipe!

How do you deodorize a garbage disposal?
To deodorize a garbage disposal you can either put some baking soda in the drain and let it sit for a while or my favorite is to run lemon peels through the disposal after you do the dishes every night. You can use orange peels, too. Just make sure the pieces are small enough to run through without clogging it.
