Gelatinous
Gels are not inferior in characteristics to tablets and are superior to powders. Their main advantage is their liquid texture., thanks to which the agent cleans the surface of plates more gently and is suitable even for fragile materials. Also, the gel is completely washed out, leaves no residue and is easy to dispense with a measuring cup.
Strengths are considered the concentration of the composition, economical consumption and low cost. Convenient and storage, since the bottle of gel can be easily put anywhere, regardless of room humidity. But there is a minus - the liquid will not withstand long cycles, since it will be washed out of the tray for 180-200 minutes.
Tableted
The plus of pills in convenience and ease of use. The dose required for the cycle is calculated by the manufacturer., and the user only needs to put one piece in a special compartment. Due to the concentrated composition, the size of the product is small, making it easy to store and bookmark.
There is another advantage - a complex action due to the addition of a cleaner to the composition, rinse aid, aroma and salt to soften hard water. There is no need to buy something separately, since everything is already contained in the capsule. In this case, you do not have to touch the chemical filling, because each pill is covered with a protective shell, readily dissolves upon contact with water.
But not without flaws. The most important is the high cost, which is several times higher than powder or gels. However, the desire of manufacturers to reduce the cost of their goods is already beginning to bear fruit., and the price for capsules is gradually falling. So more often housewives choose Calgonit tablets..
Varieties of funds
Calgonit offers the user three types of dishwasher detergents: powders, tablets and gels. Despite the generality of the composition and one manufacturer, formulations differ greatly in effectiveness and ease of use. Each has disadvantages and advantages, why consumers love or avoid them.
- Powder. Powder mixtures are losing their former popularity. First of all, they differ in problem storage. Secondly, dissolve at the beginning of the cycle and do not withstand a long "run" at cycles from 3 hours. Thirdly, wake up easily when used.
- Pills. More modern and confidently replacing powders. In tablet form, the cleaner dissolves more slowly, which makes it versatile and significantly improves the quality of washing. The tablets immediately contain rinse aid and water softener, which eliminates the need to buy additional funds. Pleases and dosage: one tablet per cycle.
- Gel. Conditionally considered the "golden mean", since it occupies a middle position between powders and tablets. Its strong point is its delicate effect on dishes and economical consumption., but it is not cheap and is sold in bulk containers.
This is a brief description of the cleaners, offered by Calgonit. To better understand, which type is more efficient and more convenient, it is worth considering each form in more detail. More about this.
Powder
Powders are cheaper than gels and tablets, special, if you take a bulky package and strictly observe the recommended dose. With proper control, the mixture will be enough for 3-4 months, which will pleasantly affect the family budget. Among the pluses is also a wide range and availability.
As for the disadvantages, then there are three. The first is inconvenient use, since even with the help of a measuring spoon it is impossible to carefully pour the powder into a special compartment. The second disadvantage is considered troublesome storage., when a bulky package takes up a lot of space, gets dirty and saturated with moisture. The third "surprise" is the need to buy additional rinse aid and softener, if the quality of the water or washing is poor. Due to the latter, the cost of powder cleaners, together with the additions, is compared with the "complete" tablets.
