Kitchen dishwashers. WAC 246-316-170 allows domestic appliance only in boarding homes of 16 or fewer bed. However, look at the cost effective side: The dishwashers are listed as F.O.I.C. and therefore assumed to be domestic type units. With the proposed population serving each kitchen unit one can expect at least 9 loads of operation per day for each washer. Each wash cycle can be expected to use an average of 9.3 gallons of water over 61.4 minutes of operation (83.7 gallons in 9.26 hours) Each dishwasher would be required to be delivered 155F hot water, however it is unlikely subsequent loads at a meal would be delivered hot water. A commercial dish washer would use an average of 3.6 gallons of water over 1.7 minute cycle (32.4 gallons in 15.3 minutes) Looking at the staffing pattern it could be expected that dishes will not be ready for the next meal or residents will not be monitored. A domestic washer could be expected to be replaced every 3-5 years whereas a commercial every 20-30 years. Also commercial washers are available using 120F water therefore allowing a common use water heater for all fixtures. 2, When a bather unit has integral dispensing unit for disinfectants, soap, shampoo, or datargents both the hot and cold water supply line to the tub shall be protected with reduced pressure backflow assemblies.
