I'm considering getting some sort of wet media case cleaning system, but I keep thinking about how to dispose of the used water. It's likely to be contaminated with lead from the primer compound.
I'm on a septic system on a small acreage. I and all of my neighbors get drinking water from wells--some are pretty shallow. If I was on a municipal water system, I wouldn't bat an eye at pouring tumbler water down the drain, but I keep wondering if the lead and other contaminants will settle out in my septic tank, or if they will stay suspended in the water, flowing into the drain field, ultimately ending up in my neighbor's drinking water in a couple decades. Pouring it on the ground seems like a bad idea too.
What do you all do with it? Am I over thinking this?
