I've been contemplating moving to wet tumbling with stainless steel pins and a rotary tumbler. One thing that I've often wondered about is what to do with the resulting waste water. Do you just dump it down the drain? I've wondered how "toxic" the resulting waste water would be and how much effect it would have on the local water treatment plant...
I was reminded of this after viewing this discussion on disposing of tumbling media. In it a statement was made that lead dust could be safely flushed down the toilet where others strongly disagreed that it wouldn't be a good idea.
So what then, do people who wet tumble do with the resulting waste water? Wouldn't this pose the same or a similar risk to flushing "lead dust"?
Thanks for any enlightenment you can give.
