In general which saves more water?

It depends on what you are talking about if you are talking about washing dishes by hand and using a dishwasher i think a dishwasher if you are talking about shower or sink i think the sink.


Can you run your dishwasher if your sink is clogged?

Probably not, depends on where the clog is at and how the dishwasher drain is connected. I wouldn't chance it, but the worst that will happen is the sink will fill with the water from the dishwasher.


Why does dishwasher water drain out backing into the sink?

The disposal is clogged or that side of the sink is.


Why would water back up in sink when no water was run in sink?

Sometimes it will back up from a dishwasher (machine)


Can temperature in the sink vary from the temperature in the dishwasher?

Absolutely. Every built-in dishwasher can heat water to a higher temperature than what dispenses from your kitchen sink.


How do you increase water temperature for a dishwasher?

Usually the dishwasher is located near a sink. If you run the hot water at the sink, that will flush the cold water from the hot water line, so the dishwasher will end up getting more hot water during its fill, and allowing the water to reach higher temperatures. Use the "Heated Wash" option to ensure maximum temperature increase. Dishwasher detergent works best around 145 degrees, so the hotter the water going in, the better it will clean.


When large amount of water is poured into the sink with the garbage disposal where the dishwasher drains would a one way valve help with water backing up into the dishwasher?

The pump in the dishwasher should keep the water from getting into it.


When your dishwasher drains the water comes out the aerator what is wrong?

The sink drain is plugged,or you have the dishwasher hose hooked up in wrong place.


How can you fix a dishwasher that has garbage disposal water in it?

Check the air vent tube under sink make sure it is connected properly or water will back up into dishwasher


Can you eliminate the air vent on top of sink for a dishwasher?

Yes, the air vent (air gap) is very much required!! It prevents water from traveling from the sink drain pipe or garbage disposal and into the dishwasher.


Why is there water coming out of the vent on the side of the sink when your dishwasher drains?

Partially clogged drain line.


Where do you wash dishes?
