Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0612495A1] In a dishwasher or washing machine, at least one open flow section (10) is included in a water supply pipe (7), as well as an ion exchange container (11). The water supply pipe leads into the washing container (2) which possesses, at the bottom, a drainage trough for collecting washing liquid. In order to achieve a high operating reliability for a simple construction in the case of the water supply and also in the event of steam shocks occurring in the washing container, one pipe part (12) of the supply pipe (36) leads into the drainage trough below the dynamic operating level (30) of the washing liquid, a collecting container (17) located above the static liquid level (28) being connected to the pipe part (12). In addition, the collecting container (17) has at least one pressure-compensating opening (24,25) leading to the open atmosphere and an overflow edge (26) above the static level (28). <IMAGE>
