Water leaks above sink when dishwasher runs 

BEST detailed visual explanation I have seen !! Other longer youtuber videos do not show the upclose details. Thank you!

This video saved me so much money lmao thanks !!! Fixed the problem I’ve been having since over a year now 💀

Air gap for dishwasher are dumb, someone behind a desk just thought it was a good idea . If you are a plumber and also able to think ..just imagine what it does and what would happen if there’s none … make little to no difference.

Just did this at work today, turned out I installed drain saddle for an RO backwards. Problem was I ended up creating a smaller drainage point coming from the air gap so it couldn’t drain at the rate of the dishwasher. Just had to check this out as a fellow tradesman in CA. Keep up the vids!

just got done doing this after the video. You just saved me at least a couple hundred dollars. Thanks brother

Dropping in to support a fellow tradesman

just fixed my dishwasher thanks to this video!

I did a service call out where the homeowner installed a new garbage disposal. He forgot to break the plastic knock out in the dw drain port before hooking it up the the air gap. I explained to him that they come sealed incase someone doesn't have a dishwasher. I hung out for a quick drain and fill to show him the difference.

I use a wire brush from the top side of the air gap and just clean out the hose. Never had to disassemble the hose before

I use a wire brush and just push everything through the top of the air gap.

Very useful information! Thanks!

Thanks so much, problem fixed 😊

Thanks for getting right too it. Great help

Thanks!

Naw...better pay 500$ for a service call to a licensed plumber😂😂😂

Thank you for teaching good I have one question if we don't have a hole on the sink for air gap to the disposal

I used long 36in zip tie to go in from top of air gap to clean out the that hose no to take it a part

That’s the problem I’m gonna tackle right now 😂

So having an air gap just adds another issue vs a direct connection got it mine will stay direct

the hose going to my disposal is bent, that probably the reason why water is flowing from the airgap .. what is the size of that blackhose and the length i should get? 3ft should suffice i believe.

The black pipe was too old. It’s stuck and I can’t get the pipe out. Is there any tool I can use to get it out?

Thanks

My hose is stuck on both ends after I removed the clamp. Do people add glue to the ends or could it just be stuck for not being removed after a while. I don’t want to force it since some parts appear to be plastic.

My problem exactly!

just get an airgap brush and clean from top of counter. 10 seconds

Can u add a glass rinser with a dishwasher and garbage disposal as well. I was assumin i can use that 🕳 on left side of sink to add the glass rinser

I literally bought a new one and still the same issue and I bought a new disposal

So stupid to have these air-admittance turrets sitting on your countertop. This was a thing in the late 80s and early 90s and I always thought it was so dumb. Just connect it to the disposal. The disposal itself is a giant 3” air admittance valve that never closes.

I have my dishwasher pumping straight into the sink drain. I don’t have a garbage disposal.

Or.... it could be somebody didn't remove the read the instructions to remove the drain plug before installing a new disposal. could be. just saying...
