Siphoning
Siphoning
may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a
siphon (suction) to develop, pulling waste water back into the pump. Sump
check valves along with air gaps/high loops prevent siphons from being created.
Water inlet / condensation system
Dishwashers use a common water inlet and condensation system. Instead of
feeding water into the bottom of the tank, dishwashers fill into the left side of the
tank. Instead of condensation exiting from the right side of the tank, it exits the
left side of the tank through the water inlet.
There are three hoses connected to the water inlet system, the water inlet hose
(from the water inlet valve), condensation (breather) hose and internal drain
hose. The internal drain hose has a factory made high loop (~ 15” above the
floor) and connects to the external customer drain hose.
Dishwashers use a time-fill.
Maximum customer (external) drain hose length is 92”.
Water inlet system and hoses are shown below.
