Water MUST be running whenever the disposal is running and should continue to run for 15-30 seconds after you turn it off.

How often do you use a garbage disposal?
Use it at least once a day. We just redid our kitchen and also put in one of those push-button air relay systems to activate/deactivate the disposer and I wonder how I ever lived without it! I can’t imagine my sink without one!
