A:Answer Are you asking where the water comes from to clean the dishes? The dishwasher must be connected to a water supply. When connecting the dishwasher water supply line to the house water supply, sealing tape or compound should be used on pipe threads to avoid leaks. Tape or compound should not be used on compression fittings. Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply with a temperature range between 120 °F (49°C) and 149 °F (65 °C). This temperature range provides the best washing results and shortest cycle time. To prevent damage to dishes, the temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 °C). Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 80 psi (140–550 kPa). If the water supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. Otherwise premature failure of the inlet valve may occur. ^Daphane
