Tap divertor for table top dishwasher

calleyw

I want to get a table top dishwasher and it won't be plumbed in so needs a tap divertor for the kitchen sink taps.

I have these taps https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Modena-Pillar-Kitchen-Sink-Taps---Chrome/p/410714

 

But I get the feeling that I can't use one of these on it https://www.amazon.co.uk/HERCHR-Diverter-Bathroom-Kitchen-Splitter/dp/B07ZJ3WZ8J/ unless I change the taps. Not something that I feel confident enough to do myself if needed.

Or am I doomed to keep washing up hand?

The plastic bit where the water comes out should unscrew and the adaptor fit in its place.

Agreed, if you look at the technical data sheet for your tap: -
https://media.wickes.co.uk/is/content/wickes/T3274_410714_TECH_0
it shows on page 2/4 how the flow straightener unscrews and you then fit your diverter in there, screwing the straightener into the bottom of the diverter, all this can be seen if you look at the different pictures of the diverter; it even shows how it will look all connected up and gives you the thread sizes.

I bought that adaptor from Amazon for "baby dishy" and it worked but was really unsightly once the hosing was connected so I went back to filling baby dishy with the jug it came with. 
Baby dishy has the option of being plumbed in or jug filled. 
I will never regret getting a table top dishwasher. It's perfect for me and the cat but I did have to get different plates so they would fit. The plain square ones from Dunelm work.

I looked at the ones that you can fill by jug but they are a lot more expensive and smaller only taking 2 settings instead of taking 6 settings and being approx £200

Not sure I have anything to use to unscrew it.  Will have to have a look in my tool box

I never looked at that.  I tried to use my fingers and it didn't want to seem to budge.  Not sure I have anything to use to unscrew it.  Will have to have a look in my tool box

I was put off those ones as they only take 25cm dinner plates and were also too high to fit on my worktop
