Apparatus for introducing scale remover to a dishwasher
First Claim
1. A method for introducing scale remover to a dishwasher, comprising the steps of:
- providing a fluid container having a bottom and connected to an agent fluid line at a position adjacent to the bottom, thereby configuring the fluid container to dispense a liquid descaling agent into the agent fluid line solely by operation of gravity;
integrating said fluid container to a dishwasher having an dishwasher input conduit and a water fluid line associated therewith, wherein said dishwasher input conduit is operative to direct liquid from the exterior of the dishwasher to the interior of the dishwasher and said water fluid line is operative to supply liquid from a water input source to the dishwasher input conduit;
wherein the step of integrating is performed by connecting a diverter to the water fluid line, dishwasher input conduit, and the agent fluid line such that said diverter is configured to direct liquid from the water fluid line into the dishwasher by way of the dishwasher input conduit and liquid from the from the agent fluid line into the dishwasher by way of the dishwasher input conduit;
closing a water shut off valve associated with said water fluid line, thereby restricting the flow of fluid from the water fluid line into the dishwasher input conduit and with the water shut off valve closed, opening a container shut off valve associated with the agent fluid line, thereby causing the liquid descaling agent in the fluid container to dispense into the agent fluid line, through the diverter and dishwasher input conduit, and into the dishwasher.

Abstract
An apparatus for introducing scale remover to a dishwasher for enabling a descaling or cleaning agent to the introduced to a dishwasher and its conduits in a manner which optimized cleaning efficacy is configured to be connected to a conventional dishwasher between the dishwasher and its water input line. A diverter having an output that is connected to the dishwasher'"'"'s input conduit combines the conventional water input conduit from the water input line and a container output conduit connected to a fluid container containing a conventional descaling solution. In use, a user would actuate the apparatus for introducing scale remover to a dishwasher to cause descaling solution in the fluid container to be directed into the dishwasher input conduit and the dishwasher. Once empty, a water shut off valve controlling the water input line is opened and the dishwasher is turned on to run a normal cleaning cycle.
