Abstract
A domestic appliance is proposed, in particular a dishwasher (), a washing machine or similar, with a water supply unit comprising a water supply line () for the supply of water, in particular for the supply of drinking water from the drinking water network, wherein the water supply unit has at least one first actuation element (), in particular a water inlet valve () for purposes of opening and/or closing the water supply line (), wherein a process water unit () is provided for the process water of the domestic machine, wherein at least one decoupling unit (), in particular an air gap (), is provided between the process water unit and the water supply unit for purposes of decoupling the process water of the domestic appliance from the water supply line (), in particular from the drinking water network, so that the water supply line () comprises at least one first opening () designed as a water outflow opening (), which at least partially eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art, and in particular has a higher operational reliability with regard to disturbances in the water flow. This is inventively achieved, in that at least the water supply line () comprises at least one second opening (), wherein the second opening () is designed as an air inflow opening () for the inflow of air into the water supply line ().
