Lots of things come with do's and don'ts: appliances, computers, cars ... even clothes. These do's and don'ts help us get the most out of the things we use every day. Your wastewater system is no different. By following the manufacturer's recommendations, and some common-sense guidelines, you can be confident that your wastewater system will operate with little-to-no hassle for many years.
In this first episode of our Do's and Don'ts series, Angela and I talk about the basics of what should and shouldn't go down the drain.
