Q: What is an air gap and why is it important?
A: If you are referring to an
air gap for the use in a dishwasher, it is used to prevent the back up
of waste water into the dishwasher. If you have back up into your
dishwasher you can create bacteria in which case you no longer have
clean dishes, also you could create odors in your dishwasher.
