Abstract

The dishwasher includes:
- a water feed and treatment device (10) comprising a feed pipe (16) with a filling valve (18), a first reservoir (28) for containing substances with decalcifying properties, and a second reservoir (30) for containing salt to be dissolved in water in order to generate a brine for the regeneration of these substances; and
- a control system comprising a sensor (42) located in a well (12) which forms the base of the washing chamber (14), and a control unit (44) for receiving signals sent by the sensor (42) and for measuring, on the basis of these signals, the quantity of water used to regenerate the substances with decalcifying properties.
