Unable to find a pump for our trusty old Maytag WU400 dishwasher, I picked up a WU203. The drain hose on the 400 was routed along the side, to the top and back down again - and after installing a hose straight out and then down on the new one, I discovered why!
I can't use the old hose - it's smaller and the drain is in a different place. Can I just put an anti-syphon valve in the hose I have or does it need to be routed like the old one? If it does, where do I rout it? The old one went up the side but I can't see anyplace to fasten a drain hose on the new one.

Thanks tech17
After some Googling to find out what an air gap is :) this sounds like the answer I was looking for.
you could go to lowes and buy an air gap to install on your sink run hose from washer comes up to air gap then down to drain if you clever could install under sink just get it high up as you can then down to drain
