I have my little brewery in a basement and use the "soak" method to disinfect my fermenter. This is run out into a reservoir/pump contraption that pumps the liquid up a large pipe and out into the regular municipal waste water. For the moment, I have been running a lot of water while/after emptying the fermenter so dilute / wash the Star San out of the reservoir.
I know the pump includes a blade that chops up solid waste, it is made of metal and plays an integral part of the reservoir/pump machine.
Is there any risk of the Star San causing an issue with any parts of the pump / reservoir? I have read on here it can cause problems for metal, but what about plastic / rubber ?
Thanks,
Hector
