Salt Finish For Dishwasher

salt finishThere are a lot of dishwashing detergents in the dishwasher, as well as dishwashing detergents. One of the most publicized brands of such products is the Finish. Many machine manufacturers (Bosch, AEG, Candy, Indesit, Electrolux, etc.) advise using the products of this brand by sticking the Finish logo on dishwashers. In this article we will talk about one of their product - about salt, we will answer questions: why is it needed, what happens, how to use it, what users say about it.

Description and purpose of salt

Finish brand salt is intended for use in a dishwasher to soften water and prevent scale formation on internal elements. This will not only extend the service life of the unit, but also improve the quality of washing dishes. After all, as you know in soft water, it is not only better washed, but also washed. The salt itself will not soften the water, it works in conjunction with the resin of the ion exchanger built into the machine.

In the absence of salt and prolonged use of the dishwasher, the ion exchanger can simply fail, blocking the operation of the entire machine. Therefore, when the salt indicator on the control panel lights up, it must be poured into the salt compartment, especially if the water is very hard. And the harder the water in your area, the more salt will be consumed.

Important! Some replace salt with tablets containing salt, but with very hard water this should not be done, or pour salt together with tablets to maintain the operation of the ion exchanger.

Finish salt maker announces the following salt features:

  • improvement of the dishwasher;
  • softening water and preventing the appearance of scale;
  • elimination of drips of water and plaque on dried dishes.

Finish salt contains sodium chloride. Some will say that this is the usual edible salt, which is sold under a well-developed name. Yes, sodium chloride also consists of sodium chloride, but salt The finish for dishwashers goes through the best processing, therefore it does not contain technical impurities, for example, carbonic acid salts, iron impurities, grains of sand, etc. In addition, the special salt has larger granules, which dissolve more slowly and evenly in water.

Varieties of salt

Finish special salt does not have any species, and what varieties can be if it consists of only one component. However, the user encounters different boxes and names on the shelves. Indeed, salt for dishwashers is packaged in different packages, but this does not change its composition and properties. You can find the special Finish salt, Finish Calgonit salt.

There are packages of salt of 1.2 kg, 1.5 kg and 4 kg. Products under this brand are manufactured in different countries. In particular, salt is produced in Russia, Germany, and Poland. In the domestic market, salt produced in Russia is offered. The packaging of such salt is distinguished by the presence of inscriptions in Russian and a packaging of 1.5 kg. German-made special salt usually has a packing of 1.2 kg and 4 kg, and there is no Russian-language text on packs of such salt.

The price of salt of a European producer will naturally be higher, but it is very difficult to get such salt.

As for the quality of salt, this can be said only after the use of salt from different manufacturers. We asked what dishwasher users think of Finish salt.

I use Calgonit Finish salt. Washing with salt gives the dishes a shine, no plaque remains on it. A half kilogram pack fits completely in the salt compartment and lasts for about 3-4 months. When the indicator on the panel of the dishwasher lights up, I again add salt. For me, this is an ideal salt, I do not want to use another.

About Finish salt I can say that a good option.The first time I fell asleep half a pack, which was enough for me for almost two months. When the indicator lights up, I fall asleep again. But sometimes the indicator may light up, and there is still salt in the compartment. In this case, I just mix it up, and then the indicator no longer lights up. This salt, in my opinion, is very expensive. There are cheaper analogues, so I will look for the best option for price and quality.

I expected more from such advertised salt, therefore I bought it, thought it was expensive and, therefore, of high quality. As written in the instructions, I poured salt into the compartment, but the indicator on the control panel blinked constantly. At first I thought that the salt did not dissolve well, there was no necessary concentration. But the pack of salt is already ending, and the indicator blinked all the time. The salt itself, seemed to me a bit large, in short - I did not like it. I will look for another.

For my dishwasher, I occasionally buy 3 in 1 tablets, with which, according to manufacturers, salt is not needed. So I stopped pouring salt in the pan. But after a few sinks I found stains and plaque on glass plates and glasses. It was not immediately clear why this happened. And when she added salt again, the plaque on the dishes disappeared. In general, the saving experiment failed. Now I will again take Finish salt, which I have been using for many years, I am satisfied with both the price and the quality of washing dishes. Yes, and grabs her for a long time.

So, to buy or not to buy salt for dishwashers, think for yourself. You can do it replace salt analogue, but just do not forget that in case of breakdown, the warranty on the machine when using non-special salt does not apply. Machine repair will be carried out only at your expense. As for the Finish salt, that is, both supporters and opponents of its use. Try it yourself, and then decide whether it suits you or not.
