Minus - with a short cycle, such a tablet may simply not have time to dissolve. For the price also comes out a bit more expensive in comparison with powders. 1 tablet takes 1 tablet (with soft water).

How to choose the right dishwasher?
In order for your dishwasher to work efficiently and for a long time, select detergents correctly and taking into account all the nuances (composition of the product, type of machine, etc.).
What you need to remember?
The first and most important thing: never use conventional tools for hand washing dishes for your equipment. You risk ruining the dishwasher completely and irrevocably. Choose products according to the type / class of machine.
Low alkaline enzyme preparations. Such tools wash dishes perfectly and carefully, even at 40-50 degrees, they can be used for any type of dishes.
Means with chlorine in the composition. This component is known as aggressive and tough; any contaminants are washed quickly and cleanly. But for fragile, "delicate" dishes such a tool is categorically not suitable (crystal, porcelain, cupronickel, painted dishes, silverware).
Means, which include alkaline components + oxidizing component, created on the basis of oxygen, are suitable for almost any dish. But they have a whitening effect.
If you save on universal detergents, it is recommended to purchase salts, degreasers and rinses to protect and clean the machine.
When choosing a gel as a detergent, pay attention to its composition. Look for a product that does not contain chlorine bleach, phosphates, as well as EDTA, dyes and NTA - an extremely non-toxic agent. The best option is a gel with a pH of 4-5 and biological components in the composition.
