Product review (4 stars): Need to adapt for a pull down sprayer faucet? Here is a possibility.
I did a lot of research about hooking up a portable dishwasher to a faucet with a pull-down sprayer head. It seemed reasonably easy in theory. When I went to get adapters to use attach the quick-connect with mine- I discovered that it is simply not possible with my faucet. As I rent my house, I am not able to change the faucet. Here is what I did to attach the machine directly to my under the counter hot water line:
I attached a 3/8 tee adapter to the valve under the sink. Bought a washing machine connector hose (4 connector with 90-degree elbow). Attached that to a male garden hose adapter (3/4 male thread x 1/2 MP) and then that was attached to 1/2 FIP to faucet x 3/8 COMP to valve. That hose was then connected to the tee adapter. I still used the outflow hose that came with the machine but had to replace the hot water in hose with the above-mentioned bits. Also, I bought this tape stuff to put on the male threads of the tee adapter to act as a sealer. Cost me a total of about $30 for the "franken-attachment".
I am doing the first load of dishes as I type. I will update in the future as to how the machine itself is working out.
The moral of this is - don't be afraid of purchasing if you have a pull-down faucet. I not very handy in things like this usually but this was actually pretty easy once I found the parts I needed. I am hoping this post will save someone time when attempting the same thing.
