I work 8-5, so yes, I realize apple is open during these hours. I know they are open until roughly 6 or 7pm. It's the after 5pm hours, and sat/sun hours I'm interested in. So I can plan my week.
An air gap for a dishwasher is a requirement set forth by local plumbing codes. It is a device designed to ensure water flows only in the right direction during the dishwasher cycle. As a dishwasher operates, hot water flows in from the sink's hot water connection.
Thus the need for an air gap. But, the dishwasher already has air an air gap , because it fills from the side. Pendragon, ... the reason for the code is for backflow prvention into the water supply... not to prevent sink water from entering the dishwasher.
