Hi all,
My first post here so go easy
I am trying to install a dishwasher approximately 3 meters (line of sight) away from the sink which means i need to run a Cold water feed and Drain hose over a distance. The cold water feed isn't a problem and is already sorted, it's the drain i'm worried about.
As far as i can see i have two options:
Ditch the pre installed 1.5 meter drain hose and fit my 3.5 meter drain hose (without a high loop on the back of the d/w). Run the 3.5 meter hose along the floor and create a high loop at the sink.
Keep the pre installed 1.5 meter drain hose (including high loop) and attach my extension to it creating a second high loop at the sink.
I have a couple of questions though. Is it vital to have the high loop on the dishwasher end? Can i not have the waste come straight out of the d/w and run along the floor until it gets to the sink where there will be a high loop? Also, will the dishwasher be able to cope with the distance?
I have attached a couple of pictures to help.
Many thanks in advance!
