Dishwasher salt
Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIS : Dishwasher salt
Dishwasher salt is a particular grade of commercially available crystalline sodium chloride. Dishwasher salt is used for the same purpose as very similar to water softener salt, namely to regenerate ion exchange resins used to remove the hardness ions calcium and magnesium from water. Dishwasher salt is in a granular form, with particles larger than common table salt and unlike table salt has no added iodine (included as a dietary supplement). The granule size ensures that the salt dissolves slowly and that fine particles do not block the softner unit.
