Hello,
I recently bought the LAGAN DW60 dishwasher and was about to install it, but I realized the water inlet hose is too short to connect to the faucet.
Does IKEA offer an original longer hose for purchase? There are many extension hoses available online, but I specifically need one with the Aquastop, as generic hoses don’t include it. I don’t want to do without it.
The manual states that an extension hose up to 4 m (13 ft) can be used. I don’t need that much length, only about 80-100 cm (31-39 inches) more would be enough. But what exactly does that mean?
“Faucet - extension with metal hose max. 4 m (13 ft) - original water inlet hose Aquastop”?
or
“Faucet - replacement water inlet hose Aquastop”?
Since the DW60 apparently comes from Whirlpool, would a compatible hose from them fit as well?
Or should I just go to IKEA and ask directly?
Thank you in advance.

I agree with you. I have neither heard of nor seen a transparent hose. It’s always been a gray, ribbed hose, nothing else.
Nevertheless, this issue should be investigated further because it means the instructions are incorrect. I will take care of it, but only starting next week.
Best regards
Nayla

Whirlpool used it, but with "red coloring."
Several years ago, I spoke briefly with a technician from Bauknecht service. The conversation touched on various Aqua "fail-safe" systems, and if I remember correctly, his exact words were "pointless."
His reasoning was that pressure hoses today are rated for pressures up to 60 bar (water supply typically max 9 bar), which is more than sufficient. The concerns come mainly from people’s fears and insurance requirements. He also mentioned that the outer hose is only rated for up to 12 bar pressure, and if the outer hose is damaged during installation or gets pinched—if the machine sits, lies, or stands on the hose briefly—it wears out faster than the inner pressure hose. Apparently, this happens quite frequently.
From what he said, Bauknecht once developed a completely foolproof and absolutely reliable system, but the cost per appliance would have been about 150 euros higher. Don’t ask whether that was production/development cost or final price. Anyway, they did not implement it because their machines would have become too expensive, and Bauknecht was apparently afraid they wouldn’t sell any more.
