It also looks like I can't remove the joints to try to clean out the pipe. I'm wondering if the disposer method is superior to this standpipe setup. | |

| May 2, 2018 at 21:35 | comment | added | Susan Gentry | Yes - I am wondering how that works but I see setups online where the dishwasher is connected to disposer without an air gap. | |
