When buying appliances such as glass washers or dish washers, the question of "Do I need a Drain Pump or Gravity Drain" might appear. So what is the difference?

You will need a drain pump if the waste water will have to travel upwards to escape the unit. If one is not fitted the waste water will fall back into the unit and contaminate the water supply.

Some units are available with a stand to mount the unit higher, this can eliminate the need for a drain pump however it is vital to make sure you have one if needed.

Nearly all dishwashers and glasswashers at Alexanders have a gravity drain as standard, however a Drain Pump can be added to most for an additional cost.
