I have a portable dishwasher, can I hook it up to this filter? I really don't want to have to remove the filter every time I need to wash dishes.

If you have to hook something up to the faucet to use your portable dishwasher, then yes, you would have to remove the entire system from the faucet. I've never used a portable dishwasher so I dont know what the process is to get that ready. Good luck, I hope you find something that works :-)

I don't think so, I don't think your connection would be compatible. They sell these in some stores, you might be able to find one and check but honestly I think not.

Since these filters don't remove dissolved minerals, they won't keep your dishes from spotting. Also, they have a pretty limited filtering capacity and only filter organic compounds and solid particles trapped with activated charcoal. This approach would only increase your hassles but would be a total waste of your resources. I don't recommend water softener systems based on zeolite because of the need for large quantities of salt needed to periodically recharge the zeolite to purge the calcium and magnesium. In addition, in the softening process, the Ca and Mg are replaced by sodium (Na) that is not healthy for use as drinking water.

Not sure if the threads will match. The best thing to do is compare between your sink faucet & washer threads. If both are same then this filter will work.

I don't see how you could. There aren't any rivets to screw a hose end to it. The newer filters seem to go on and off a bit easier then the older ones though.

I think you will have to remove the filter to hook up the dishwasher. Sorry. :-(

It comes with a very tiny basket filter that you remove & wash out. It has a plastic housing around the filter.

On the product information, it says that the Pre-Filter is washable. I just used my hand-held vacuum. It could be washed with a faucet sprayer or hose, if you are careful.

Sounds like you are not putting the filter paper into a "reusable" filter basket If that is what your doing. The paper filter needs to be into the filter basket, do you have one? If not you need to get one

I have not tried at this time, my guess is that you can, this is a pretty common filter and is in wide use. I purchased my first one from a farm supply house.

don't know what's on portable diswashers. the adapter fits into bathroom sink faucet (twist off the one with faucet for filtering and twist this adapter on)

There is no reason why you couldn't if you wished. We prefer the mesh filter that comes with the unit -- easy to clean -- but removing it and using a paper one instead is certainly viable.

just like any other dishes. wash by hand with hot dish soap or put in the top shelf of dishwasher. of course you do not clean the filter; you replace it

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

Hi! I am pretty sure it would work on your portable dishwasher. My folks have one too (not Kenmore) & their kitchen faucet attachment piece is identical to mine. I use mine for a small portable washing machine. Hope that helps! Diane

I don't know. I am not familiar with the portable dishwasher. However, I used the rinse ace for the first time yesterday and was impressed with the ease of installation and function of the device. All I had to do was remove the existing adaptor on the bathroom sink and twist on this one only enough to stop the squirting water from the connection.

sure, but will get stuck in your filter. You will have to clean the filter quickly

More likely, no. You could retrofit and do a few adapters/ reducersto get it hooked up, but that is a lot of work. And would you use the water for everything, such as washing dishes? You could significantly reduce filter life when you use common application with RO. Much easier to install the drinking faucet.

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort

No, you do not have to clean the filter every time you sweep. You can wash the plastic container. It is the strongest hand sweeper we have ever owned and it really picks up the dirt.

I would think of perhaps using a bag that would screw onto the filter and empty into the clean water container. It won't be fast but it will work. I have used this method before.
