It's just dead skin, sweat, body fluids, oils, lotions and such... Why not!!  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

It's not like you eat and drink off of those dishes or anything!  ;)

I've heard of people doing that too but I chose not to.

If the water is above 140 degrees F you'll damage the filter.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

Steve makes a good point but if that doesn't bother you just make sure the drying cycle is ABSOLUTELY off or you'll be sorry.

HotSpring has introduced a new filter, the Tri-X. They  can go into the dishwasher. They are about twice the size of our old filters, but will retrofit - so any of you out there who own HotSpring tubs might want to check them out. Yes, they are more expensive, but they should also last longer.



As to putting filters into the dishwasher: I figure that watever is left after the filters have run through a complete cycle would be minimal - and it's most likely not any worse than the bits of left-over food and grease on the incoming dishes. Plus, the dishes are washed in strong, sudsy detergent, so I don't really worry about getting stuff on them from the filters.


No that I think of it, I wonder if I shouldn't be worried about getting gunk on the filters from the last load of dishes. Hmm..
