Default Any garbage disposals impervious to chlorine?

Hi All,

My Garbage disposal rusted out, presumably due to the
chlorine from my disk washer.

Anyone know of a replacement garbage disposal that is
impervious to dishwasher chlorine?

Many thanks,
--Tony

Check Consumer Reports for their definitive article on disposers. Some of them
have stainless steel internals and IIRC the ratings mention this. As usual, you
get what you pay for and the SS models are the pricier ones.
Stainless is not totally impervious to chlorine, so you may want to review your
current washing compounds and get something less destructive to the
environment. Good luck.

Except most common ausenetic stainlesses such as are used for good general
corosion resistance are susceptable to chloride pitting and corrosion,
patticularly at high stress points -- for frequent chloride exposure you
will need either a more exotic/specialized stainless steel or other more
chloride resistant alloys. For occasional exposure to chlorine bleach or
related compounds you should be okay thought.
