Sisters! 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Have you ever encountered a situation where your dishwasher’s water pressure decreased after a while, resulting in poor washing results? 😭 I experienced this before, and it was a total nightmare! I tried everything, from replacing the filter to cleaning the spray arm, and even suspected the dishwasher was broken! But in the end, I realized it was this little detail that was causing the problem!😱😱😱
The culprit behind my dishwasher’s low water pressure and poor washing performance was: a clogged dishwasher inlet filter!
Why does the inlet filter get clogged?
- It’s mainly due to the accumulation of impurities, sediment, and small food debris in the filter over time, leading to restricted water flow. For example, I live in an older apartment building with aging pipes, and there’s often sand, rust, and other impurities mixed in with the tap water. These impurities accumulate in the dishwasher inlet filter, eventually causing a blockage.
- Also, some dishwasher inlet filters have complex designs that make them prone to dirt buildup, making cleaning more difficult. Like the dishwasher I used before, the inlet filter had a complex design with many small holes, making it easy for dirt to accumulate and difficult to clean with just water.
How to solve the problem of low dishwasher water pressure?
- Clean the inlet filter regularly: This is the most crucial step! It’s recommended to clean the inlet filter every month or so to prevent clogging and ensure stable water pressure. Cleaning is simple: just remove the filter, rinse it with water, or gently scrub it with a brush. I used to use a toothbrush to clean it, and it worked pretty well.
- Choose the right dishwasher cleaning agent: There are many dishwasher cleaning agents specifically designed for cleaning dishwashers, which can effectively remove dirt and residue from the filter, disinfect, and keep the dishwasher clean and hygienic. I used to buy dishwasher cleaning agents from Taobao, and they worked well. After cleaning, the dishwasher felt much cleaner.
- Pay attention to water quality: If the water quality is poor, it’s recommended to install a water purifier to filter out impurities and prevent clogging of the filter. The water quality in my apartment used to be poor, with frequent sand and rust. After installing a water purifier, the water quality improved significantly, and the dishwasher inlet filter was less prone to clogging.
My personal experience:
Since I started cleaning the inlet filter regularly, the water pressure of my dishwasher has significantly improved, and the washing results are much better! Before, there were often oil stains and food residue that couldn’t be washed clean. Now, with the increased water pressure, the washing results are significantly better, and the dishwasher is also much cleaner! 🥰🥰🥰
Conclusion:
Low dishwasher water pressure and poor washing performance could be caused by a clogged inlet filter. Regularly cleaning the filter, choosing the right cleaning agent, and paying attention to water quality can easily solve this problem!👍清理滤网，选择合适的清洁剂，注意水质，就能轻松解决这个问题！👍
