Dishwasher without running water

As you know, you quickly get used to the good, and if you have a dishwasher at home, then why not get such a “helper” in the country as well. It stops only one thing - the lack of benefits of civilization in the form of a water supply system, and without a central water supply, an ordinary dishwasher refuses to work.

In this regard, our readers have two questions. First question: is it possible to buy a machine somewhere that will work autonomously? The second question: how to connect an ordinary dishwasher so that it works autonomously? And to that and to another question, we will try to find the answer in the framework of this publication.

Autonomous machine: does it exist?

Dishwasher for giving without running water, what is it? Probably, the market offers us a huge number of models that make our eyes run wide, and now we will need to do a review. One that would help you make a choice in favor of the best autonomous machine. But in reality, everything turns out to be much simpler and more pragmatic.

After a very long search, our experts were able to find only a couple of models of dishwashers that can work autonomously, and even then they can only be called dishwashers with a big stretch. Rather, it is a dishwasher. Meet Circo and NoStrom EcoWash Dinner Set. Both of these dishwashers work both without central water supply and without electricity at all.

To start washing the dishes, pour warm water with detergent into a special tank and twist the handle.

The main advantages of these devices are an unprecedented saving of water and energy, as well as washing dishes not by hand, since the skin of the hands does not come into contact with detergent and water. On this, the advantages of the above devices end and the minuses begin:

• the sale of these devices is still limited, and they are quite expensive;
• the capacity of their washing bins is very small;
• you have to constantly add warm water and drain the waste, all this is done manually;
• the quality of washing dishes is poor.

The general meaning is clear. We think it makes no sense to describe new-fangled eco-inventions, since in practice their use either does not make sense, or is currently impossible for objective reasons. And frankly, these devices will not replace a full-fledged dishwasher. So we put aside the arguments and think about how to connect a conventional dishwasher in the absence of a water supply, but first we will select a model of the machine that can best be prepared for such operating conditions.

How to choose a dishwasher for summer cottage?

To make any dishwasher work, it is enough to provide a water supply under pressure from 0.03 to 1 MPa. It turns out that it is not particularly important what kind of dishwasher you have, the main thing is that water is supplied to it under pressure, and the quality of this water is satisfactory. Indeed, in the country, water, for the most part, is underground, which means its quality may not be high enough. The publication will help you choose a good "assistant" Overview of freestanding dishwashers.

It turns out that we can buy any machine, let water through the filters, pour it into a suitable tank, and connect this tank to the dishwasher. It sounds simple, but how to implement it, and most importantly, how to ensure the supply of water under pressure? All this in the next paragraph.

Dishwasher connection without central water supply

There is an original, and at the same time, a very simple way to make the dishwasher without running water work just as well as in normal conditions. At the same time consumables need a minimum. To begin, prepare the materials, we need:

• a plastic canister of suitable capacity (at least about 10 liters) with a tightly screwed lid;
• nipple with thread ¾, nut and sealing rubber;
• valve from tubeless tire;
• a piece of garden hose is about 1.5 meters long;
• two clamps, winding, car sealant;
• two steel corners, a board 30 mm thick and 80 cm long;
• Automobile compressor;
• 18A car charger and launcher.

In addition, you will need pliers, a drill with drills, a knife, a small adjustable wrench.

Having picked up everything you need, we proceed to install the dishwasher. First we transfer the dishwasher to a suitable place. It is best to place it somewhere against the wall, closer to the outlet. Somewhere to the left and above the dishwasher body, we fasten the steel corners directly to the wall, and on them we put the crossbar to get a horizontal shelf. Next, we drill a hole in the canister lid and insert a valve from the tubeless tire into it, seal the joint.

After that, we drill a hole in the bottom of the canister and insert the fitting into it, with the thread inward, put the rubber gasket inside and pull the fitting again from the inside with the nut. Outside on a protruding fitting we put on a garden hose and pull it with a hose clamp. We connect the hose either to the inlet valve of the dishwasher or to the inlet hose. In this case, the main thing is that the connections are tight and reliable. Gently pour clean water into the canister, screw on the lid and adjust the canister with water on the shelf.

Next, the crucial moment, we connect the car compressor to the starter, screw the compressor hose to the valve and give a little pressure, literally “0.3 points” no more, otherwise the canister will break. We remove the compressor hose from the valve and turn on the dishwasher. If the machine starts to draw water, then everything is in order, nothing needs to be touched. If water does not accumulate, you need to slightly increase the pressure using a compressor.

To prevent the canister from bursting from overpressure, some suggest installing an additional valve in it, or taking a stronger container.

So, we figured out that there are practically no autonomous type factory dishwashers, and the fact that there are no machines, but rather devices. But almost all, without exception, dishwashers can be connected to the water supply without running water, if you include an elementary ingenuity. Do not be lazy and you will succeed. Good luck
