I just need to ask. Wouldn't the chlorine from the tap water be a problem? Do you have a water filter running to your dishwasher to filter out the other things you don't want in there?
or does the water heat up high enough that it boils off the chlorine? if that's the case, i'm using the dishwater from now on
You don't have to worry about the chlorine. It will be completely dissipated by the time the dishes are dry. In fact, a pot or bowl of chlorinated water will loose all it's chlorine to the air if it just sits out at room temp for 24 hours.
Hope that allays any worries.
