[Greenbuilding] Another Day. Another Challenge....Dishwashers this time!

[Bobbi Chukran]

Hi Lynelle,

I haven't encountered that problem yet, but we did just buy a new  
Titan TWH for the new/old house, and are now shopping for  
dishwashers.  It never occurred to me that there might be a problem  
with the D/W.

Definitely something to look out for.  Thanks for the heads-up!
