Abstract
A dishwasher includes a tub at least partially forming a treating chamber, a dish rack provided within the wash chamber, and a spray manifold. The spray manifold can have multiple sprayers for emitting wash liquid to define a spray zone. A supply conduit supplies liquid to the manifold from a liquid source. A flow diverter proportionally divides that liquid supplied from the supply conduit to the sprayers in proportion to the volumetric flow rate requirement of the sprayers.
