Waste King Legend Series L-8000 Garbage Disposal

Yes, this model is compatible with properly sized septic systems. It is designed to grind food waste into fine particles that are easily processed by septic tanks.

The L-8000 comes with a pre-installed power cord, so you can simply plug it into a standard outlet under your sink without needing to hardwire the electrical connection.

While no garbage disposal is completely silent, this model features built-in sound insulation to dampen the noise of the grinding process, making it quieter than many standard disposal units.

Yes, this unit includes a dedicated dishwasher drain connection, allowing you to easily route your dishwasher's discharge through the disposal.

If the unit stops, first check the reset button located on the bottom of the disposal. This is part of the built-in overload protection system designed to safeguard the motor from overheating or jamming.

A 1.0 HP motor is quite powerful, meaning it can handle tougher food scraps—like fibrous vegetables or small bones—more effectively and with less risk of jamming compared to lower-horsepower models.
