Plumbing – Help with Garbage Disposal install and high drain pipe

garbage-disposalplumbing

The drain pipe for my sink sits pretty high, and then the sink-bowels holes are pretty close to each other. Below is the best my friend and I could do to make this work, and I just realized we need to baffle T to keep the pressure of the disposal from spurting out to the other bowl. Question is, have you ever seen this High of a p-trap and it will actually work? With water, works fine but I am afraid of using the disposal because of the low-p trap and high drain pipe for the waster to travel that high to make its way out. I live in a condo, so cannot change anything behind the wall. Any ideas or recommendations of how I can best make this work properly? Much appreciated.

The drain into the wall needs to be below that of the disposal and sink, there's no way to beat gravity with this. Your options are to:

  1. Raise the disposal output (with a different disposal)
  2. Raise the sink (with a different, shallower sink, or at least a shallow drain for the disposal)
  3. Lower the drain at the wall
