How do I hook up my portable dishwasher?

Question

I just bought a used portable dishwasher. I bought an adapter for the faucet to hook up to the dishwasher and the hose for the dishwasher won't stay on. If I hold it on and turn the dishwasher on and the faucet, water just runs over the sides of the hose and none appears to be going into the machine. I know the dishwasher works, I just don't know how to make it work.

Answer 1

The hose from the dishwasher to the faucet should have some sort of quick release/ locking mechanism.  Mine had a piece that I had to hold down (an outer ring on the top part of the hose) while putting it on the faucet then when I let it go it would lock in place.  If I didn't get a good connection water would spray out or the pressure would knock the hose off.  Check and make sure you have the right adapter for both the faucet and the dishwasher.  You can do this buy taking all the pieces to your local hardware store(meaning the hose and the faucet adapter) they should be able to help you.
