5 out of 5 stars Better read your Owner's Guide.......   April 20, 2010

Somat salt is a very fine and pure salt compound designed specifically for Meile dishwashers with a softening system. Some here post that you gan use ice cream salt. Yes, you can, if you want to destroy your expensive dishwasher (and also void the warranty). Ice cream salt is course, not terribly pure and is intended for making ice cream, not softening the water in your dishwasher. The Somat salt is pricey in the US, but lasts a long time and does wonders for your dishes and flatwear. The price in part reflects the refinement and purity as well as the fact that it is shipped to the States from Germany, so of course it costs more here than in Europe. If you don't want to pay for the right salt, you are better off just leaving the conditioner empty in your machine. Read your Owner's Guide......it's all there in black and white.

Basically, buying an expensive, high performance and well-made European dishwasher and using unrecommended, cheap products is like buying a new Mercedes and using cheap, regular grade gas instead of the recommended high octane. If you don't want to use the right products, just really save some money and buy a GE or Whirlpool.

We use this salt for our Miele G-894SC dishwasher. We have moderately hard water in Indianapolis and a high mineral content. I fought with our old dishwasher for many years, because our dishes were always cloudy and our glasses had a film. This salt is on the high end of price, (others have mentioned Morton's) but it was recommended by the OEM and I've not had a problem with my dishwasher. The only bother has been lack of availability in our local stores.

The Somat water softener salt has helped my dishes get cleaner and not so spotted.
