Why is my dishwasher draining out of the drain air gap?
The rubber hose leading from your airgap to your garbage disposal or drain pipe is propably plugged. Remove hose and clean or replace. Also, when you remove the hose leading from the airgap to the garbage disposal, check to ensure that your stopper plug is removed from the garbage disposal. The stopper plug is a metal or rubber plug placed in the garbage disposal for people that don't have a dishwasher. The best way to remove this plug is by taking a screwdriver and placing it on the plug and gently tapping the butt of the screwdriver with a hammer until the plug pops out. Use metal fingers to remove the plug from the upper hopper chamber of the garbage disposal or (if you are daring enough) remove with your hands.

The disposal is forcing the water out. It seems your down drain must be further away than the 2nd sink and the water is taking the path of least resistance to go somewhere fast. tthere is an inlet on the side of your disposal for a dishwasher hook up. Ceck that if there is no dishwasher hookup going into your disposal you need to plug that hole. == Answer== It could be someone did not use a baffle tee. It is always best to plumb disposal into p-trap first and use waste arm to connect basket strainer. They may have it the other way with no baffle.

Your source of water should not be an issue. But it may be an issue if you are on a home septic system. Some say not to use a garbage disposal when you are on a septic system, but you can.
