I was thinking that I would need a separate drain line for the dishwasher because if it was hooked to the kitchen sink drain line then if cold water was drawn it would send cold water to the water heater/storage tank. That wouldn't happen. Water only goes into the tank when water is used and there is more room. If you draw cold water from the kitchen sink no room is made for more water to enter the hot water heater so that wouldn't be a problem for a heat exchanger.

That makes life simpler for me.
