Thanks for all your suggestions... I think I'm going to go down the plumber route route though as this has got far too complex

I have been listening but I have got a bit lost with it all... From what I can read into the replies so far... there seems to be a lot of differing opinions on how to go about merging the dishwasher supply and waste with the washing machine. I don't like this option anyway as it will involve...

Just to clarify. By kitchen tap outlet I mean under my sink there is a vacant water outlet and waste pipe hole, as opposed to connecting the dishwasher directly to the kitchen tap if that's what I made it sound like

I understand that, and I'm very tempted. But what would they do differently to what has been suggested here? The extension idea definitely seems the easiest. And it would save all this hassle of merging waste pipes or installing new things. I was hoping some one could confirm whether the length...

With that in mind.... do you think I am better off with the extension running to the kitchen tap outlet? If seems like the easiest solution but means there will be about 3 metres of hose for both the intake and waste and I'm not sure if thats too much?

Thats great thanks. I shall get those 2 things ordered. Stupid question but how does the waste pipe attach to that plastic outlet thing? Does the outlet hose fit over the thinner bit that's pointing upwards, it doesn't look like it will slide inside it.

Thanks for your reply. I probably wouldn't need to run both at once, but its nice to know I would be able to if I needed. I'm not sure about my mains dynamic pressure and flow, I don't even know what that is lol. The waste goes into the white pipe as shown in the photo below, I measured it...

Thanks, am I right in regards to the T-splitter and Y-merger to hook it up?

Hi I have just bought my first dishwasher and I am having some trouble with plumbing it in. The only under counter space for an appliance is the other side of the kitchen, about 3 meters away from the plumbing. There is however a cupboard the other side of the wall directly behind the...
