I love the smell of skimmate in the morning!

    OK...well not really.  Actually, not at all.  So I don't have a utility sink in the basement where my skimmer is and I obviously really need to change that situation.  Rinsing a gallon of skimmate down the kitchen sink causes quite the odor and isn't winning me any popularity points on the homefront.  So club, how do you handle this to keep you in the good graces of your families?  I know I can't be the only one running into this...

    Mine runs from a hose directly into the sump pump along with my RO waste water.

    A toilet might be better then the kitchen sink for now.

    Man that's pretty gross, I feel sorry for the ppl who have to bath in there.  Please tell me no one baths in there.
    I would say toilet for the most of it then go to the sink afterward.
