Connecting the Dishwasher To Hot Water – In These Cases It Makes Sense

Connecting the dishwasher to hot water: These factors are important

Some of the things to consider when hooking up a dishwasher include the type of hot water supply you have, the type of water heating you use, and the type of dishwasher you have.

• The advantage of a hot water connection for your dishwasher is that you have a lower heating output. Because the dishwasher no longer has to heat the cold water itself for the washing process. So you save on energy costs.
• To save on your energy costs, you have to calculate the costs for your hot water in detail. There is also the fact that energy is lost when transporting the hot water to the dishwasher.
• In addition, very hot water can also be a hindrance to the performance of some dishwashers because protein and starch dissolve more poorly at temperatures that are too high. You should therefore check the temperature of your hot water connection beforehand.
• Another fact is that colder water is important in the cleaning process. Normally, dishwashers heat the wash water slowly, so most detergents are designed to start with cold water and work best that way.
• You can avoid this with an in-line mixer tap. Such a device can set a certain temperature, usually between 40 and 50 degrees.
