P.S. I'm still trying to work out how to add an image to this post!
The kids seem to be really enjoying the tree change. They've trimmed up a little with all of the extra yard they have to explore now, which is great.
Hello @MitchellMc @Walter @EricL @Jewelleryrescue I need some dishwasher plumbing advice please...
Until the bathroom is installed, I would like to temporarily put a dishwasher in there. I have access to a power point, and a hole right through the wall which goes out to my ozito constant pressure pump. What plumbing connections do I need to buy to connect the dishwasher to the pump, and preferably with an extra outlet for the garden hose to stay connected to.
The dishwasher will be up against the wall, and on the external side the pump is `2m from the wall.
Thank you,
Jason
Great points @Jewelleryrescue I'll add some more details which hopefully help the cause.
The dishwasher would be the stainless steel Bellini Dishwasher from Bunnings.
There is an old female tap connection running directly from the water tank, I could connect a tap with a suitable threaded male end if that's what the dishwasher could connect to. The water exiting the dishwasher would run straight into the old cast iron bathtub drain, so no worries there. Currently the ozito pressure pump does not connect to the house water, though I'd like to do that, especially if I can rig up a dishwasher. Pics below.
Hello @BoeingFan
In order to link your dishwasher to your water pump, I suggest running a separate hose to the one that you have now. If you have a spare hose with connectors on it, I suggest attaching a Kinetic 12mm Brass Nut And Tail Kit in combination with a Kinetic 11-25mm 304 Stainless Steel Hose Clamp to one end of the hose. This will prevent the connection from pulling out when under pressure.
Once you've attached the nut and tail kit, connect your dishwasher hose to the fitting using a Brasshards 20mm Brass Threaded Hexagon Nipple. Please make sure to put some FIX-A-TAP 12mm x 8m Thread Seal Tape on both sides of the brass nipple. Although it is possible to use the tap attached to the water tank it will not provide enough pressure to the dishwasher and it will not give a satisfactory wash. All that's left to do is to plug the other end of the hose into the pump.
Please make sure to do a test run to make sure everything works.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hello @BoeingFan
You could in theory use your existing garden hose, I suggest looking at the Nylex 12mm Brass Sprinkler Adaptor. It can be attached to the washing machine inlet hose and your garden hose connected straight into it. However, with this type of connection, the odds of the joins letting go of one another increase. This is why I suggest a separate hose for the dishwasher as it's assembled differently.
