That brown 'gunk' that you referenced in the video are resin beads. They are used to attract the dissolved magnesium and calcium in the water via ion exchange. The water will come out the other end as soft water. It's non-toxic and from what I'm told, if you swallow the stuff it will act as an antacid. The salt is used to regenerate the resin by forcing the resin to release the captured hard water deposits. The injection of salt into the resin chamber must be occurring at some stage in the cleaning cycle and we haven't seen it yet. It must be part of the commands issued by the electronic board at some stage during the wash/rinse cycle. Home water softeners work on the same principle but the salt flushing is usually set to occur very late at night when nobody would be using the water.
You are right. The so called regeneration of the ion exchanger ("brown gunk") happens during the drying stage, but not in every wash cycle of the dishwasher (more like every 2nd, every 3rd and so on). How often the regeneration takes place depends on the hardness of the water, and with most dishwashers is set _manually_ via a menu setting. This is why it's important to have this setting where it needs to be at for the given hardness of the tap water. Many people never touch it, have hard water and then wonder why they have stains. By the way, the dishes themselves never come in contact with the salt or it's brine at any time. It is purely for regeneration of the ion exchanger. The ion exchanger is where the softening magic happens and it works fine without salt until it is saturated and needs regeneration.
I can confirm because one of our filters broke and looked just like that. Thankfully it was contained and did not flow all of our house pipes. 😧 Phew!😅
Very strange, these UK machines are a bit odd. The way we have it in the US with just a motor heater and food chopper works perfectly, although salt would definitely help in harder water conditions. Excellent information!
come on the whole porcess is interesting... if someone skips for where the machine is working and missed the removal of walll they've missed half of the fun
Hi. Thanks for the well edited, dynamic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it The brown stuff in the salt container is called "ionic echange resin". Essentially a dishwasher (or any water softener that uses salt) does not soften the water directly by means of salt, but rather by a ionic exchange process. In short, limescale (which is responsible for white marks on dishes) is calcium carbonate. The water softener job is to absorb calcium from the water molecules and release in its place another molecule, which in the case of a salt based softener is, you guessed it, sodium (I remember to the reader of the comment that salt is sodium chloride). In short, water does NOT flow from the valve, through the salt container, into the wash tub. This would cause water to be salty and create rust spots on cutley, metal and leave a nasty white residue on the dishes and the inside of the machine. What happens istead is that water flows through the valve, into the resins (which are separated from the salt reservoir by means of a solenoid valve) and finally into the machine. Now, you may wonder, what is salt used for then? Well, these resins can't accumulate calcium ions forever and will eventually get full. Salt is then used every X liters of water filled (which the electronics can detect by means of that little spinny thing - a flowmeter - mounted on the heat exchanger or by means of software guesses based on how long the fill valve has remained open) to regenerate the resins. In this process, called "regeneration", water flows from the valve, through the salt container, thorugh the separating valve, into the resins and finally is immediately drained out by the drain pump. A series of water fills where the pump still remains active is then used to rinse out any salt residue from the resins. Hope this comment was useful to someone. Cheers
Yeah i totally get it... The brown stuff and salt are there because they just need to be... Ok. Ok i'll try interpret this for everybody. Salt gets rid off limescale? Brown resin gets rid of salt?
In the stores back int he 1970's they often had dishwasher display models with clear fronts that would be running. It was an effective way to catch the attention of shoppers.
Finally the best video for visually understanding the workings of a dishwasher is here... Many have put cameras inside for demonstration but a fully transparent dishwasher is something on a totally different level. Awesome job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It has been many decades since I've seen it, but I once saw a manufacturer make their dishwasher frame clear and run it in the store so you could watch its action as a marketing tool. Never seen that since.
11:58 A little tip from someone who works in the hospitality industry. Place cutlery in cutlery baskets with the handles facing upwards. This means you don't have to touch the eating part to take the cutlery out, which means you get fewer germs on the cutlery. Apart from that: Great video - keep it up!
your suggestion is against dishwasher instructions, but tbh I had the same thoughts and tried to wash as you said, and it resulted that some stuff remained dirty in Eco mode, which I'm always using (safes a lot of water and electricity which is expensive in Poland)
@@Moothead2 That's true. People forget how dirty the silverware organizer gets. It is rarely cleaned because it always has silverware in it. I cleaned mine and then was amazed how dirty it got in such a short time. It's the weak link in the process by far.
Must say, running dishes in the washer, then opening it to let the steam wash over my face as a child. Smelling that clean chemial smell while feeling my pores open. Theres a reason I was eager to be the one to fill and run it as a kid. Just the scent of dish detergent triggers something in my brain. Such nostalgia
Thank you for this video. I used to be a customer service for Bosch dishwasher before but this is the first time I ever see the inside when this is in action.❤
Stunned by the thoroughness of your experiment. It answered every question I had, including whether the dishwasher uses more water than handwashing. Thanks - and you have a new subscriber!
Applause for an outstanding job! I’ve always wanted to see this process!! Truly, this is great info. Bravo from Sacramento for going above-and-beyond!!
What I like most about dishwashers is that they are more efficient than washing by hand, apart from the fact that you save a lot of water. One of the best inventions.
That bucket collecting the water coming out of the dishwasher didn't fill up. It was surprising to see such a small amount of water being used for cleaning dishes.
@@Rhaspun In fact, there are also dishwashers that are even better at saving water, since they have special filters that clean the water and reuse it. Right there it guarantees great water savings.
@@Eze91tif i remember correctly, some dishwashers save the last rinse water on the side since its practically clean water. And uses it as pre wash in the next cycle.
I remember going into a furniture and home appliance store with my mom one day. They had a see-through dishwasher on display and I was fascinated. Thanks for doing this so I can see it all again!
You guys are amazing and your english is perfect. I have often wondered about the internal workings of a dishwasher and how it actually cleans. I had a rough idea but you always wonder when you close the door and not being able to see it function you naturally wonder. Well I wonder no more thanks to your channel. Thankyou very much. Cheers Chris
Lovely video. Glad you added shoes, combs and miscellaneous items in the end to demonstrate how effective the dishwasher is at cleaning random household items. More people need to know this. Also people need to run cycles accordingly and not run steam/heat cycles with delicate items.
Wonderful video. By the way, you can use much less water hand-washing if you use a couple of tubs of water. Scrape the remaining food off, washing the first tub, rinse in the second. If you do that, hand-washing wins. I do like my dishwasher though.
Nerd curiosity… I loved! But the comparison was not totally fair because ‘no one’ leaves the tap open during manual dishwashing but only to remove the soap foam, and with hot water only during winter.
Clearly you are not me, and I’m sure I am not alone. This dishwasher seems very small compared to the standard 24” x 24” in North America. Is this a standard size in the country where the video was made?
bro literally xrays through the machibe and still promise to disassemble it further and see how it works.. probably thr guys who built never seen like this.. honestly props to you for this magnificent work
This is an amazing video! I really love seeing how they work and mechanism inside. I should try your tip. Hope you continue making new content. I found this video randomly on my recommendation. Hopefully, others are also getting them!
For a small channel, you spent so much time and effort to make this interesting and original content. Thank you. I wish you a lot more success and views on RUclips, as you surely deserve it.
Very interesting! I appreciate the work you went to for this video. Our dishwasher won’t fill with water. This was a big help to see where the water is supposed to come out. There is about a half inch of water settle in that area. Funny thing is is that the machine started sending out the emergency code after a complete wash..I’m not sure if it is possible for the pipes that lead to the dishwasher are frozen. House water is running but due to the temperature dropping into the teens this week, I’m wondering if the dishwasher pipes, as well as the water line to the fridge water dispenser is frozen. I’ve never seen this happen. Not sure whether to call for help or pray the pipes don’t burst.😢
Try draining that water and then reset your machine by turning off the power at the breaker. Wait for 5 minutes and then turn it back on. Go to dishwasher, choose a wash cycle and hit start... See if that works for you. Some washers will not start unless the water is drained first. Check and make sure your float isn't stuck as well since that's what triggers the switch for your drain pump to kick on.
In England in small homes like mine we fill the sink up with water not just let the tap run continuously, I clean dishes twice with two sinks full. Super annoying and time consuming but litteraly no where to put a dish washer. I would like to see a comparison of two sinks worth. I'm sure dish washer is better. Just got to wait for "affordable" housing which is a nightmare
I loved this! I'm super fascinated by dishwashers. Dishwasher tablets contain enzymes which require time to work that's why the cycles are so long Eww no shoes!
Some people just stick a camera in the dish washer to see how it works, you sir went above and beyond.

Oh no, I mustn't consume all those 4 germs!
I mean just wash your hands. It's going to be thrown into a drawer that's probably got way more germs than freshly washed hands anyway.
