Review on Black Elkay LKQD35BK Disposer Flange: Polymer with Removable Basket Strainer and Rubber Stopper by Michael Norwood

Installed new sink so got a plug. It looks good, prevents water from draining when pressed down and is well made. But! As a filter to prevent food or anything from going down the drain, this is a terrible design. Only stops large objects. We're in a septic tank and have used a little $2 stainless steel wire mesh for years that caught everything. Now almost everything that came on the old screen just slips by and down the drain. Our poor septic tank doesn't know what's going on. The water drains through a sewage system that has never been used before. Now all those little bits of food (that got stuck in the filter) go into the disposer, which we now have to turn on to make it drain. I rated it a 3 because it looks really good and keeps water out. . As a filter, this is 1.
