    Wave Need some help please . . . . !!

    We are moving into a new building and want to put the edger on a direct water line. Since we are concerned about the environment we would like to know if there is a unit that will filter the waste water. Does anybody know if this exists, and if it does, who makes it??

    Thank y'all for your help in advance. I hope you're all having fun and making money!!
    Days where my gratitude exceed my expectations are very good days!

    We use a plastic garbage bag for this purpose in our workshop. Water flows from the edger in a tank with garbage bags lining the inside of this tank. At the top of the tank has water drainage further down the drain. Thus, sewage flows generally equidistance water. Unfortunately no photos now.

    You can buy a dental trap from a local medical lab supplier and have that connected to the edger and the drain. This will protect the environment and most likely meet local codes. Depending on your volume you will probably have to empty it once a month if you are a one store/practice operation.

    Building codes vary from town to town as to what is allowed in the landfill and some municipalities may consider polymers to be hazardous material. Another consideration is that many town prohibit the disposal of any inorganic particulate matter in the sewer system. An then there is the EPA. You don't want Elliot Ness and the Untouchables kicking down you door. Its a zoo out there.

    Your most prudent action may be to contact a plumber who has the talent to handle industrial applications.
