Same. Water heater is on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen sink. I have to run the sink for several minutes just to run the dishwasher, which is annoying as hell. I hate how much water have to waste just for the dishwasher to get hot enough to clean effectively.
You can fix the issue by installing a pump on your water heater, but that's a project that I'm saving for when I need a new one in a few years.
Which is why I just time it so that I fill my watering can just before I need hot water.
Wait what ? I thought the vast majority of dishwashers had internal heating to avoid exactly these kind of issues
This depends on where you live in. AFAIK, in Europe dishwashers are not even hooked up to hot water, just cold. In America their standard plug electricity is weaker and therefore it's not enough for a dishwasher to heat the water hot enough to sanaitze.
This is the reason electric kettles are not a big thing in America (they take significantly longer to heat the water) and "home electrification" is a bigger deal there.
And as always, to anyone interested, Technology Connections talks about this in his videos on dishwashers, induction stovetops and kettles.
Ah yes, thank you, it was indeed some American problem I was too European to understand
They do but if you want to actually sanitize your dishes, the heater alone isn't going to cut it.
