heat of the water is important for removing grease and food residue from dishes and utensils which helps prevent unpleasant odours and bacteria growth in the machine. Pre-rinsing dishes before loading them into a dishwasher is no longer necessary when using modern detergents that contain bleach or other strong chemicals capable of breaking down grime from the hot water supply and then pushing the water out from the drain line.\r\rA dishwasher will use the hottest water during the main wash and less hot water during the lower temperature rinses. An average dishwasher as compared to expensive dishwashers cannot work as well. Most modern dishwashers can heat the water at the same time the cycle start and when the dishes are on the lower rack. These dishwashers can work manually filling the tempering valve with the air inside with the right amount of water. \r\rThe hot water for a dishwasher is supplied by the domestic hot water system and must be connected to the same cold water line and the hot water line as your sink and other appliances. The dishwasher connected to the water system can get the required water supply with the right water pressure as and when needed.
