The hot water is probably being made by the heat pump via the desuperheater effect. I believe it’s a byproduct from the cooling cycle but I could be wrong.

I never worked on dish washing products back in my day, I did spend some time working on laundry products.  Of course, we learned some about other stuff.  Back when, Cascade was mostly "builder" with very very little surfactant, as bubbles in a DW were very bad for the pump.  We used a phosphate builder, and today I think they are all zero P, I don't know what they use.  I've noticed the stuff often doesn't work that well.  The wife likes the pod thingees, and they sometimes don't dissolve, I told her to run the hot water until it got got before starting the DW.

Phosphate is a magical cleaning ingredient, specifically tripolyphosphate.  It apparently is bad for something.

The phosphate generated is actually good for life - so good, that when it ends up in wastewater streams, it lets life flourish that wouldn't normally get a chance.

The problem is, that "life" is usually algae. It creates algae blooms where they wouldn't normally be. Stuff gets clogged, choked, and otherwise bungs up an ecosystem.

The limiting nutrient can be nitrogen for algae blooms, which means we'd have to somehow better control nitrogen more than phosphorous.  There is still some debate about when and where.  The phosphate replacement was Zeolites when I was in the biz, and they left white crud on blue jeans often as not.

How can a person have time on one's hands?  What is time anyway?  Can anyone define it?  It's what keeps everything from happening all at once?

Love that song.  Paul Simon's original is iconic, but I have to say my favorite version is The Bangles which was featured in the movie Less Than Zero. 

That aside, I'll throw out

"So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time"

Just back from some running, I'm getting better just in time for baseball.  Feels good, almost addictive.  They had young kids trying to play soccer on the infields, it was cute.

If you don't think the Bangles' version of Hazy Shade of Winter is great, then that tells me all I need to know about your musical taste.  

Good day, sir!
