Filtro de agua casero / Homemade water filter

Greetings Hivers, I hope everything is going well. Around here everything is fine except the dishwasher stopped working a few days ago. The error message that came up on the panel indicated that the inlet valve was not closing properly and water was still entering the dishwasher. The problem was caused by the water filter at the dishwasher inlet that did not allow the valve to close properly. It is this small plastic part.

I looked for a replacement filter and as they are specific parts of each manufacturer I could not find it in any hardware store near me. On the internet in the city where I live I did not find them and if I ordered it, being such a small piece it cost me 10 times more shipping costs than the filter itself.

Solution, I make myself the filter with an old pasta squeegee that fell into disuse. At the moment the dishwasher is working again, fingers crossed.

I hope you liked it and see you next time.
