Does your state or county allow you to dump your waste water....

What's a dunsky?

All of us

We southerners are lucky compared to the city folk when this subject rises

That is because you still use outhouses. Watch out for the overflow.

I've had a TM for 5 years, in July. When I worked for "That Other Company", they had us dump wherever. I've consulted with a local environmental engineer a couple of times since I started this thing, and he says that most of the popular cleaning agents we use are fine to dump, given the dilution ratios we're dealing with. However, should you boost with a d-limonene and naptha mixture, like Citru-Solv or Citrus Force, probably best NOT to dump willy-nilly.

I've got an APO on my machine. The only times I DON'T run into a toilet or sink drain in the place I'm cleaning is when I've had a float switch on the tank go out, or something, and the APO stops functioning.

I feel that we have a responsibility to the environment that we live in, and those who come after us. It's like a campsite...leave it like you found it, if not better.

Very illegal in the entire United States since 1972 under the Clean Water Act, if there is any direct run off OR through sewer system into creeks, streams etc that empty into navigable water ways.

Here is the kicker, federal courts have ruled several times that a canoe making it through is " navigable ". JUST Don't dump in the street. Some dunsky carpet cleaners have been dumb enough to report other cleaners and brag about it on the boards. Like that won't bring more oversight / investigation of our world.

Like the guys that gave a like to Oz?

Since I'm always close to the shop, I dump in the sanitary there. But I've been known to drop the APO line under a bush and take a little off the top.
