Using detergents with salt replacement
substances
Detergents with salt replacement substances
According to the manufacturers, detergents with salt
replacement substances can only be used up to a
specific degree of hardness (usually 21° dH, 37° fH,
26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) if no special salt is added. For
optimum cleaning and drying results, we recommend
using special salt from a water hardness of 14° dH
(25° fH, 17° Clarke, 2.5 mmol/l).
