What is the advantage of tablets?

• If you use a special gel or dishwashing powder, you need to calculate the exact dosage of the detergent. In addition, special softening salt and rinse aid are needed. With a tablet, all these problems are completely absent, because it has the right size and contains all of the listed ingredients.
• Before starting the program, all components individually need to be distributed in compartments. The tablet preparation does not need this.
• The very first tablets for dishwashers that appeared on the market are “three in one”, which are in demand today. They contain salt, rinse aid and detergent powder. Salt is designed to soften hard water. It is a prophylactic against scale formation. Powder is necessary in order to wash away contaminants from surfaces. It contains everything you need for this substance. Thanks to the rinse aid, the dishes dry faster.

Important! At the very beginning, the dishwasher receives salt to soften the water. When soaking, the dishes are poured with water and left for some time. Washing occurs until the water in the dishwasher is completely clean (this moment is fixed by special sensors). The dishes are rinsed first with cool, and then with hot water. This not only speeds up the drying process, but also disinfects items loaded into the unit.

Why does the tablet not dissolve?

It would seem that everything was done absolutely right. The program is selected correctly, the dishes are loaded into the machine according to all the rules, and the tablet does not dissolve in the dishwasher. Moreover, this happens not only with inexpensive units, but also with the products of well-respected, well-established manufacturers.

Reason 1

The most common reason is blocking the metering compartment (simply put, the valve does not open). Check if objects are correctly placed inside the machine, do not touch the dispensing lid.

Reason 2

If we are talking about a budget model of a dishwasher, it simply can not cope with the dissolution of the tablet, since the design of such a machine is thought out for certain chemical compounds. Each of the components of the drug disintegrates at a certain temperature.

Important! Finish (in capsule form) is one of the most common detergents. The capsule is coated, which dissolves when washing dishes. The use of such tools is very convenient. There is no contact of the detergent with the skin of the hands, which avoids allergic reactions. As a rule, with such tablets, the problem of their insolubility rarely occurs.

The modes provided in the machine may not correspond to these temperatures. It turns out that the tool is only partially dissolved.

Important! This negatively affects the quality of washing dishes, and the work of the dishwasher.

Reason 3

A typical mistake is to place the product inside the detergent drawer. It is necessary to check the dryness of the dispenser. If water enters the tablet in advance, it slows down the dissolution process. Result - the tablet does not dissolve in the dishwasher.

Important! The accelerated mode of washing dishes with cool water involves the use of instant tablets.
