Our new dishwasher should be delivered in about two weeks. The distance from the dishwasher to the garburator drain inlet is about 10 inches longer than the drain hose that will be supplied by Bosch. Our present dishwasher 20 year old has a black rubber hose of the required length with an outside diameter of about 1 inch. Could I use a new version of this type of hose rather than trying to get an extension for the hose supplied by Bosch?
I can see that the rubber hose can be connected to the garburator drain inlet without any problem. Should I anticipate any problem attaching that type of hose to the dishwasher? Many thanks. Questions to Webmaster.
