Re: ATM sludge and plumbing

["Bob May" <bobmay@nethere.com>]

The problem with the sludge is that it can settle and then gradually turn to
a stiff material.  The solution is to keep the flow of water for a few
minutes after you pour the sludge down and also make sure that the flow rate
is high enough to keep things movine (no just turning the water on to a thin
drip works here but the higher flows are helpful).
Various people have had various results because some wash the grit down
while others don't.
If you're still wary, there's always the trees down on the street.  They
always appreciate a bit more water and the sludge won't hurt them at all.
