Air switch / in sink erator

Coveredinbees!!!!

I'm looking to buy an in sink erator (waste disposal) and some come with an airswitch but I don't know what an air switch is. Can anyone enlighten me?

I want an erator as or lovely council is going to fortnightly collections and want to cut down on bin stink, does anyone have any information on erators?

waste disposal units come with airswitches so you can safely switch the unit by the sink, you want to concentrate on capacity size that you require motor size but most important insulation go for the best of all 3 you can afford ISE good but not the best value out there

An air swich is used to turn the waste disposal on and off, by sending a pulse of air to a microswitch, rather than using a wall swich which could be dangerous to use with wet hands. These are used on continuous feed waste disposals.
