The other day as I was making breakfast {pancakes} my husband- who is one of Schlomka's driver/operators wasn't very happy with me as he was witness to me putting egg shells down the garbage disposal.
I was instantly ashamed as I tell people on a daily basis "limit the use of your disposal." and "put nothing foreign down drains that will end up in your system."
ok, I know all of this, but I figure- "I work for a septic company, if anything goes wrong we can handle it."
ehhhhhhhhh wrong answer!!!
Our conversation went like so:
Me: "but i have heard that the egg shells sharpen the blades..."
The Mr: "no.... no no no.... egg shells float, which means they are twice as likely to float right out into the drainfield, plugging things up..."
Maybe now would be a good time for me to brush up on my septic knowledge: www.septic.umn.edu
ok so lesson learned here, although we might be a septic company- we are not an excavating company which is what we would need if my eggs shells were to wreak havoc to the the drainfield system. doh!

What have you recently learned about your septic system as far as the dos & don'ts?
