I have just moved house and my dishwasher and washing machine (both cold fill only) are plumbed into the same water supply. The two hoses are connected with a Y connector.
Last week while the washing machine was on water was gushing out of the Y connector which had split. I duly bought a new Y connector and all was well until today when the Y connector split again so I can't use either appliance.
Can anyone suggest a remedy to this problem or do I need a qualified plumber.
I had more or less the same set-up at my other house except that the washing machine was hot and cold fill and never had these problems. The water hose on the new dishwasher is a rigid hose while my old dishwasher had the same hose as the washing machine. I am wondering whether I may have a water pressure problem.
