Hi,
I did a search but did not find anything so I hope I am posting something that has been answered already.
Water is shooting out of my air gap consistently. I know this isn't normal and I made sure that the air gap wasn't clogged and also the disposal. I finally called a plumber and all he told me was that I had a really cheap disposal and I need a new one in order for the air gap not to flow with water. After research, I think he is somewhat right because the disposal is cheap as hell and I am sure there is crap all gunked up inside. I plan on installing the new disposal tonight, but I wanted to make sure that it couldn't be another issue. For instance, if my dishwasher was broken or clogged somehow inside the actual dishwasher, would that cause the air gap to flow? The dishwasher has a lot of hard water build up and I want to make sure that would not cause the air gap issue. Also could a clogged drain line (to the wall) cause the air gap to flow or is it definitely the line from the disposal?
Anyone else have experience with cheap disposals and air gap flow?
Any help is appreciated =)
