I just moved into a brand new apartment in a brand new hi-rise building. I had the kitchen countertop and sink re-done. I have a Bosch dishwasher and the drain hose goes into the side smaller inlet of an airgap and a thick black tube goes from the larger port of the air gap to the top of the disposal. I used it for the first time today, and after running for a while, when it got to draining, all of a sudden a lot of water started shooting out of the airgap all over the countertop and the floor.
What's the problem here? I doubt it's a clogging issue cause all the tubes and pipes are brand new and the sink drains very well. I turned on the water valve to the dishwasher one and a half rotations, perhaps it's too much pressure? Are the connections to the airgap and the diposal done incorrectly? It seems to be correct according to the Bosch installation manual. Any help would be appreciate cause I am clueless!!
Frankly, given the shape of an airgap I am not surprised that the pressurized drainage shoots out the top rather than turn around and go down, so I don't really understand how an airgap is supposed to function.
Thanks
