I just want to know how to use it.
I moved to a new apartment, which has a garbage disposal.
I've never had one before.

I don't know if it's critical that water always be run.
Or if it's just recommended.
Or if it doesn't matter in the least.

Turn the water on. It washes stuff down the drain. It also dampens
sound in the unit while running.
