Siphoning

COMPONENTS

Siphoning

Siphoning may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a siphon (suction) to develop, pulling waste water back into the pump. Sump check valves along with air gaps/high loops prevent siphons from being created.

Terminal connections (Rast 5 connectors)

Rast 5 terminal connectors provide more positive connections than spade terminals.

Johnson Tee installations (Washington State)

Drain pumps in installations with Johnson Tees (in Washington State) must use stronger 4-vane pumps (607468).

Standard 9-vane drain pumps (642239) are quieter and smoother than 4-vane pumps.

Water fill assembly

The water fill assembly is easily accessed from the left side.

Time fill

The time-fill water inlet system doesn’t have a diaphragm or water level switch. Dishwasher controls allow water to fill for a specific time, relying on consistent water flow through the water inlet valve to provide the correct water level.
