Thousands of dry metallic micro balls were blasted all over under the sink after turning on a stuck Badger 5. Did they come from the Badger 5?
Without further information, it is difficult to determine the source of the dry metallic micro balls that were blasted under the sink after turning on the stuck Badger 5. However, it is possible that these metallic micro balls could have come from the Badger 5 disposal unit if it had deteriorated or experienced internal damage.
The Badger 5 disposal unit is typically made of metal components, including blades and grinding elements. Over time, these components can wear down or become damaged, potentially leading to the release of metallic debris. If the disposal unit was stuck or malfunctioning, it could have caused excessive friction or stress on its internal components, resulting in the release of metallic particles.
It is recommended to inspect the Badger 5 unit closely for any signs of damage or deterioration. If there are visible issues, such as broken blades or loose parts, it may be necessary to replace or repair the disposal unit. Alternatively, if the source of the metallic micro balls is uncertain or unrelated to the disposal unit, it might be worth investigating other potential sources, such as pipes, plumbing fittings, or any nearby metallic objects that could have been affected.
