Over one in five UK households now has an automatic dishwasher, and more people each year are discovering the benefits of owning one. It has been estimated that using a dishwasher can save up to 3 weeks time over a year, but the biggest benefit is cleaner and more hygienic dishes - because the washing is done at high temperatures, using highly efficient cleaning agents.

HOW A DISHWASHER WORKS

Put simply, the dishwasher takes in cold water and heats it to a temperature far higher than possible for hand washing - usually above 130ºF. The dishwasher does not use a great deal of water, as it does not actually fill up. The water enters through a resin-based water softener, usually in the base of the machine. The water softener uses granular salt to maintain its efficiency and will require topping up regularly. Pumps force the water at high temperature into rotating arms containing spray jets. It is the force of the water that rotates the arms and enables the water and detergent to reach all parts of the load. After the programmed cycle of washing and rinsing is complete, heating elements dry the dishes, or they are left to drain dry, dependent on the programme you've chosen.
