Definitions
- the dishes are placed on a grid or in a basket in a washing space.
- a sump is provided below the washing space to receive fresh wash water and a chemical cleansing medium to prepare the water for the washing cycle. If the water is to be heated, means may also be provided to heat the sump.
- a whirlpool wheel may be provided at the bottom of the w-ashing space to throw the prepared wash water continuously against the dishes during the washing cycle whereby dirt is removed from their surfaces.
- the pump delivers the clean water from the bottom chamber to shower heads so as to spray the Water into the washing space.
- the complete dish washing cycle usually includes a pre-washing cycle, a main washing cycle, a rinsing cycle and a drying cycle, all of which may be controlled by an automatic programming means or by hand.
- This object is accomplished by mounting a water softening ion exchanger in the water inlet conduit means leading to the washing space of the dishwasher.
- Known water softening cation exchangers bind the calcium in hard water and release sodium chloride in -solution in the Water.
- the ion exchanger is mounted within the casing of the dishwasher.
- means is provided -for indicating the exhaustion of the ion exchange capacity of the ion exchanger and the indicating means operates a programming means designed to cut off further water supply to the dishwasher and thus to stop its operation upon exhaustion of the ion exchange capacity of the ion exchanger.
- the indicating means may include a counter indicating the number of washing cycles or a means analysing the chemical composition of the ion exchanger, and the programming means may include a switch responsive to the indicating means 4and operating a solenoid valve in the water inlet conduit means to shut olf water supply upon exhaustion of the ion exch-anger.

- a drain outlet pipe ⁇ 6 is mounted on the -bottom of the wash water chamber and communicates with the input of wash water circulation pump 7 the output of which is connected to conduit 8.
- the conduit or pipe 8 carries one or sever-al shower heads 9 through which the wash water from chamber 4 is forcefully pressed into the washing space 3 during the washing and rinsing cycles.
- the machine is supplied with water from a water supply source (not shown) through inlet pipe 10 leading to the water inlet conduit 11 which may be opened and closed by solenoid valve 12 in any suitably programmed manner.
- the inlet conduit leads from ⁇ the valve 12 to a container 13 holding a water softening ion exchange material.
- the ion exchange material may be any of the well known cation exchange materials used in water-softening processes. Such materials include, by way of example, ion exchange resins with active sulfonic groups which may be converted to the sodium form and will then exchange its sodium ions with the calcium ions present in hard water. Polystyrene -type resins sold by Rohm and Haas Co. under the trademark Amberlite Ill-i are useful for this purpose.
- O'ther useful cation exchangers include the zeolites which are a class of hydrated silicates of aluminum and sodium compounds of the type Natural zeolites include analcite, chabazite, heulandite, natrolite, stilbite and thompsonite. Artificial zeolites are made in a variety of forms ranging from gelatinous to porous and sandlike. The mineral glauconite has also been found suitable for water softening.
- any of the known water softening ion exchangers may be used, including natural and synthetic cation exchange minerals as well as organic cation exchangers, such as -sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde resins and carboxylic -acid resins. All of these water softeners being well known, the present invention is not concerned with any such specific material but with its use in a dishwasher, as herein described.
