so 4 States think this thing is a good idea and put it in to a building code, but 46 states are living life just fine without it... I'm not a professional plumber or a dishwasher manufacturer, yet know how and why both work; this thing is stupid and pointless in my opinion. seems like an outdated requirement put in place by politicians that also don't know anything about plumbing.
