Yes, you can use these filters in your program.
Search on Amazon for different screen sizes; there are models with a variety of screens and larger filters, as this is a small filter.
For the past 30 years, I've worked as a plumber. As a result, for two reasons, I would not recommend using this filter in a hot water system. The strainer's twist-on cover is too small to handle the heat generated by the amount of water being used, and the filter is too small for the gpm rating that the washer will use. Second, the plastic would not withstand the hot water. Why are you using hot water when the dishwasher has a built-in heater for cleaning with controlled heat? Cold water is used in the standard installation. I hope this has been of assistance.
If using a heated drying cycle, I would be cautious; the official department of better safe than sorry advises caution to avoid warping the plastic.

When transferring beer from my boil kettle to my fermenter, I use this filter in conjunction with a 20 mesh screen. It's also great for draining into kegs after switching from primary to secondary fermenters.
I dry hopped in the fermenter before racking to the bottling bucket with the spigot, where I filtered out the floaters with this strainer. It was a cinch to use - As you can see in the photo, it strained out a lot of the unwanted solids.
My homebrew was filtered using this. It turned out to be a lot more effective than I had anticipated. My siphon's barbed ends were designed to fit the same diameter tubing. In two batches, I filtered out of my primary. It began to pick up speed. The only drawback was that I had to stop a couple of times to empty it. That isn't a major flaw because it demonstrated that it was performing its duties. There must be better filters out there. br>br>I'm sure there are. However, for the money, this works well for me. I only make a few 1 and 3 gallon batches per month. If I had a bigger operation, I'd do things differently. I'd like to think about something more substantial.
I purchased a set of finer filters, which are fantastic. I dry hop a lot and it works great at keeping the nasty out of my kegs and bottles.
I recently used this to filter a Double IPA. While this small device performs as expected, it is not without flaws. When transferring the beer to a keg, it quickly became clogged. So, while it may have worked fine for a "normal" amount of dry hops, I was unable to complete the transfer without replacing it with a larger filter.
From the brew pot to the fermenter, I simply used this inline filter. It caught a surprising amount of trub. I'm going to use this for all of my wort transfers. The filter allows you to get closer to the settlement line, resulting in less waste and cleaner results. Using a siphon tube to transfer toward the last gallon takes a little longer, but it's worth it; using a pump would speed things up.
It was very effective in removing the chunks from the fermenter beer. Yeast will not be strained - However, he obtains the rest of the important items.
A significant amount of trub and hop particles were removed during the filtering process. I got through about two of them. I had to wash out the filter after 5 gallons in a 3 gallon kettle. This would be a little more useful for racking into a secondary or bottling bucket, in my opinion.
