Hi mam, H r U? I have IFB Neptune SX 1 . water hardness 620 and TDS 1080 in lab test . What is the salt setting level and rinse aid level mam
Hi mam my dishwasher ifb Neptune vx plus
Hi Mam, Thanks to the very informative video you have done and uploaded. I had a clarification and that is, we have a borewell sourced water delivered through tanker to our house as still government water is not available at our place. The TDS is around 1000 and hardness is also high. Would you recommend to purchase a Dishwasher considering these points? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ram Kiran, please get your water tested in a food/water testing lab if possible so that you get to know your correct water hardness.
You can safely buy a dishwasher up to a water hardness of 900 ppm.
In case your water is very hard, you may have to install a water softener at the source.
Because if the water is very hard, not only will the cleaning be affected but also your consumption of detergent, salt and rinse aid will increase, thus increasing your overall cost.
In fact you can install a water softener and then go for a dishwasher.
I left a comment here explaining how to test for water hardness and was surprised to find it has been removed by YT. Please check and see if it can be restored.
Hi John, I checked in both "held for review" and in the "spam" folder. But your comment does not seem to be there.
You may have to write it again.
Mam please share your experience and review of airfryer till now
Hi Rupali, I am using the Air Fryer regularly and find it very versatile.
I'm trying out various dishes in it.
I'll definitely come out with a video soon.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Mam! Your videos are amazing and really helpful. We need one clarification Mam. We are using Faber dishwasher for the past one month. The vessels were cleaned property during the first two washes. Later, after every wash there is white salty layer on all the vessels. We maintained the salt level and rinse aid level full, but it doesn't work. We adjusted the rinse aid level number of times, but the problem is not resolved.😢 We are using finish detergent, rinse aid and salt. What should we do to rectify this and is there any specific settings to be adjusted in the dishwasher. And shall we use ordinary drinking water for dishwasher. Please let us know, Mam. Thank you in advance! 😊
Hi Samshath Begum, thanks for finding my videos helpful. Sorry about the issues in your dishwasher.
From what you have written I guess your water is very hard.
Did you check your water hardness by testing it in a lab?
Unless you know the correct hardness, salt and rinse aid level settings will not be accurate.
Moreover, you cannot come to any conclusion by changing the settings on a day to day basis. You have to try washing in one particular setting for at least a week, before trying out other settings. Also you have not mentioned about the program you use regularly.
I can only suggest one thing assuming that your water is hard, that keep your setting in factory setting(H04 i think, as i do not know your model) and also try to change your detergent to Fortune or Bosch, as Finish detergent is not well suited for very hard water.
You can try out programs like Eco if you haven't tried it yet.
Please let me know the results after the changes.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you so much for your reply and detailed explanation, Mam. Sure, We will try what you suggested regarding the settings. If it doesn't work, we change the detergent brand as you mentioned. Definitely we will let you know the results. Thank you once again, Mam! 😊😊
Hi mam, can you please recommend better water softener for the dishwasher? I bought this Onida dishwasher which doesn't have a setting to change the hardwater levels🤦 I know my bad that I didn't investigate much before buying. First two washes were good but not it's not clean at all. I am left with only option of
trying to use water softener as my taps do have white patches with calcium deposits. Also another interesting question, isn't eco mode increases our electricity bill compared to 90 or 30 minutes cycle? I'm single with average amount of daily utensils to wash. Eco runs for 2.5hrs though it says only 0.9w per hour then it's 2.5*0.9w. thanks for your time. 🙏🏻
Hi Sorry for the delayed reply. I was busy during the last 3 - 4 months hence I could not reply earlier. Have you got your water hardness checked in a lab? If you have to go in for a softener, I am not sure which is the best in the market. Only a custom built one could work but they are expensive and also may not be available for small requirements. Please try to check out the option of connecting soft water in the long run.
Although the eco program runs for a long time, it uses the least power and water as it heats to an optimum temperature and runs for a long time. It is not 0.9 W X 2.5 hours. Totally it is only 0.9 kWh. Thanks.
Mam i am looking for good robo vaccum with moping can you suggest with all latest features below 70k please can you suggest and also laptop
Hi Rupali, I am dealing with Milagrow robotic cleaners. I do not know much about other brands.
In any case, you write your requirement as to what you expect -
approximate area to be cleaned, vacuum and mopping or only mopping, whether you have pets etc and the budget.
Also, give your specifications for the laptop -
main purpose of use, screen size, preference of processor etc. and budget.
Please write to my mail id bhuvanaadis@gmail.com or message me on Instagram.
Bhuvana madam i m finding it difficult to understand the setting for my ifb neptune vx1 washer salt and rinse setting.lot of white cloudy finish on utensils .pls help
Have you tested your water for hardness? Do you know how soft or hard your water is? I can help you with your settings only after knowing the water hardness.
Because more hard water means higher the salt and rinse aid setting.
Hi. I have bosch dishwasher. From last few days, my dishwasher shows Check water and Refill rinse aid red light simultaneously on switching machine on. No button works. If I switch off and then later after some time it works. Do you have any idea of this?
Sorry for the delayed reply.
If there are light, buttons and issues on the panel, it is better you call for service.
Thanks.
Milk pot is not clean in sharp table top dishwasher please give suggestions
Hi sorry for the delayed reply, I missed your query.
Please keep those heavily stained pots and vessels in the lower rack only and around the periphery. Also use a longer high temperature cycle.
Set your salt and rinse aid based on your water hardness. Also use a detergent/tablet based on the program and your water quality and also if using detergent increase the quantity if the pots are more stained.
Hope this helps.
Hi mam , we have started using vim dishwasher tablets since 1-2 years after watching your video , it is so good , everyday vessels are cleaned thoroughly. But now a days it is out of stock , I searched everywhere in google , do you have any idea where vim dishwasher tablets are currently available? Because I just have 1 packet of vim tablets left (that too purchased months back ) . Mam pls if you can help me find vim tablets being sold anywhere, it will be of a very great help to me . Please mam . If you have any idea , pls share the link or website name , I will buy from there , thank you mam
Hi Nirmala, looks like Hindustan stopped importing Vim brand of dishwasher products.
I do not think it is available on any website.
Please switch over to other brands that suit your water hardness.
Thanks.
Hi ma'am.. thanks for the information you have shared. My water TDS is 540 . I have shifted to new area . I got white strong stains on my utensils. Whenever I fill salt in the the dishwasher it get worse. Do I set my dishwasher to minium salt settings? Is high salt harmful for utensils if water is soft? I am very confused. Please help me🙏
Hi Agha Uzma, as I have mentioned in the video, please get your water hardness tested.
That will help you in adjusting proper salt and rinse aid settings.
If the water is soft, it is not advisable to keep it in a high level of salt setting. This will definitely affect the working and not give good cleaning results.
Salt settings should be based on your water hardness.
If you had set it on high, reduce it by 2 levels and try washing. Check if your results are good.
In the mean time, get your water tested in a lab.
Thanks.
Mam kindly share your suggestion fast as I am really in need of a dishwasher what can I do to use the dishwasher with this TDS level and I am ready for your suggestion to do any alternative arrangements to use the machine
Hi, did you get your water tested for hardness?
Hi mam we are shifting to new place. Planned to buy bosch dishwasher. But tds is 1390 and hardness is 890.got these results from lab. Kindly suggest wat has to be done..
Sorry for the late reply. I think your message has gone to spam.
Your hardness values are very high, almost at the highest level. You can operate the dishwasher with high salt and rinse aid settings but still the cleaning will not be like soft water. And the consumption of consumables will be very high. You should look at the option of getting a soft water connection to the dishwasher. Thanks.
Hi Mam kindly can I go for the LG dishwasher with 2300 TDS
Hi, as mentioned in the video, please get your water tested for hardness (calcium and magnesium content), in a food and water testing laboratory.
Let me know the readings, then I can try to help you.
Thanks.
Hi mam can yu suggest any water hardness testing laboratory in chennai of ur choice
Hi Shiva sankari, where do you reside in Chennai?
Please try this lab -
www.ctllabs.in/water-analysis.html
Thanks.
Hi msm my water hardness 1600 salt rinside settings please mam reply ❤❤❤
Please get your water tested in a lab to find the amount of calcium and magnesium present in it.
Btw, which dishwasher brand and model do you have?
In any case, it looks like your water is very hard, for which the settings for both the salt and rinse aid have to be kept at maximum level.
In the long run it would be better to connect a water softener at the source so that your expenses on consumables come down and your machine lasts long and above all you get very good cleaning results always.
Thank you.
Hi mam... In my new home ro installation guy told tds is 900... Bought bosch dishwasher... Is it ok?
Hi Vijay, I am sure you must have watched the video fully. You will find the answer for your query in the video itself.
In case you still have doubts you can write to me.
I would request you to watch the video fully.
Thanks.
Mam we have water tested our water hardness is 206 but Tds is 1800 can we buy dishwasher can u pls suggest
Hi, did you test your water in the water testing laboratory?
Can dishwasher be used in high hard water(>900ppm) area? Will water softener solve the purpose? If yes which water softener?
Hi Amiya, are you referring to 900 ppm of TDS or water hardness? These two are different as shown in the video. If indeed, hardness is more than 900 ppm, it is better to fix a softener. Contact a water treatment company in your city and get one installed from them. I am not sure which readymade brand available in the market is good. But remember, softener needs consumables (salt) and maintenance, so please look at the options of connecting soft water supply to the dishwasher in the long run if possible. Thanks.
Look up the Kent water softener for the washing machine or larger bathroom model.
Hi I have been Bosch dishwater for one month with finish quantum tablets.. It was good..until I changed to salt, rinse aid n detergent separately..I am getting white residue on all my vessels.. I changed my hardness setting to max also.I did not have this prob with tablet. Can u help pls with this??
Hi Deepa, tablets have additional ingredients for better cleaning and take care of hardness also to some extent.
Have you shifted to Finish products?
I would like to know what your water hardness(not TDS) is.
You cannot randomly keep increasing the salt setting levels without knowing the exact hardness of your water.
Also, you have not mentioned which program you are regularly using on a regular basis and whether you got the difference in cleaning while using the same program.
Please set the salt and rinse aid setting based on your water hardness.
If your water is very hard you can try Bosch consumables in future.
But before that try to find your water hardness.
Hope this helps.
Please write to me with more details and in case you have more doubts.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi yes mam I use finish products.. I haven't tested my hardness level. Water TDS is around 720 ppm. I mostly use mixed load (auto) option ... I have been using the same option after changing from tablets..
@@deepasubramanian9268 what temperature does you wash at?
I want to buy a dish washer for my mother. Water tds is 2400ppm that is checked in the offline store and he said that this water is not good for dishwasher. Is there any alternative solution to use dish washer
Water is very hard. It is better if you have soft water supply available for connecting to the dishwasher. Thanks.
Hello mam hope you doing absolutely fine my house water tds is 450 ppm according to ro technician so pls tell me which salt setting is suitable for my dishwasher
Which dishwasher do you have?
@@BhuvanaAdi bosch
Try H01 for a few days. If you find any white patches, shift H02.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks mam
@@passionfruit8226 you are welcome. Please let me know after a few days if you are getting desired cleaning results.
Hello Mam,
Can you please make a video on the error codes in a dishwasher.
What does the bE error code mean ?
Hi Rukshara, thanks for your request. I will definitely try to make a video on this.
Btw, which is the dishwasher are you using?
@@BhuvanaAdiLG DISHWASHER
Okay. I'll get back to you.
Okay ma'am
Hi Rukshara, sorry that I forgot to reply earlier as promised.
The error bE occurs due to two reasons:
1. In case you have used a detergent not suitable for a dishwasher which causes sudsing(foaming).
2. When the appliance has not been levelled properly.
Solutions:
1. Make sure to use only dishwasher detergents like Finish, Fortune, Bosch etc.
2. Level your appliance.
Hi, I got water tested in a lab. Total hardness is 845 mg/l, Calcium(asCa) is 166 mg/l and magnesium (asmg) is 122 mg/l. Can I get dishwasher installed with this quality of running water at my home?
Hi Sushant, please await my detailed reply in a day or two after Dussehra. I will be busy for the next two days.
@@BhuvanaAdi sure, please take your time. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you!
Hi Sushant, based on the results, your water hardness does seem very high. Although dishwasher manufacturers recommend using dishwasher up to water hardness of 900 ppm, this would mean keeping the salt and rinse aid settings in the machine very high thereby increasing their costs. Even after this, I am not sure whether the cleaning will be similar to using direct soft water. In the long run it is better to use the dishwasher with soft water for better cleaning results and long machine life.
So, my recommendation would be to fix a water softener before the dishwasher so that the water hardness will come down to below 400 ppm.
Or the best alternative would be to make some arrangement to supply soft water to dishwasher.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Hi Bhuvana, really appreciate your input. What kind of arrangements can be done for soft water supply before the dishwasher? I am trying to understand my options here. I guess a soft water system for the whole house would be pretty expensive so not sure if that would be feasible. Are there any cost effective solutions for this?
@@SushantKulshreshtha I shall get back shortly on this.

TDS in my area is 550 ppm,,what should I do...
Hi mem
I suffered issue of detergent powder not dropping down after opening of detergent cabinet
Can we make the detergent powder to gel @ home
By mixing with water and preserve in bottle and use as detergent liquid/gel
I'm using salt and rinse aid
As per ur opinion and guidance....
Only one issue
Due to water leakage to compartment the detergent sticks there,,,and I think to convert it to gel or liquid,,,will it's effectiveness retain or any issue.....
Try to keep your detergent compartment dry always. Why is the detergent note coming out of the compartment? If the compartment is dry, after the program starts, it should automatically fall inside the machine during the way cycle.
I don't think that adding water and making a liquid is advisable. You get Finish in Gel form as well. You can try that if you want.
For your TDS, you can set your salt and rinse aid level at level 2. Observe for a few days at this setting. If the cleaning is good, you can continue the same settings, else increase by one level.
Watch my videos on different detergents in this playlist below:

Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdiIn pre rinse the detergent compartment gets water inside, thus making detergent sticky,, is it a defect in manufacturing
I have bought this month, used to times,, Friday time also,, tablet was wet when we checked in between the running cycle
I would suggest not checking during the cycle. During the cycle, the powder will get dispensed over a period of time and not all at once. After the completion of the cycle, if detergent remains, then you have to address that. If the compartment is clean at the end, then there is no problem.
You could check whether the rubber gasket on the detergent compartment is damaged, if the problem persists. Thanks.
Mam, i am planning to buy bosch dishwasher. My tds Value is 790ppm and hardness is 1500 (Tested using TH -5 ) is it advisable to buy dishwasher or not ?
Hi Kala, your TDS and hardness values seem to be mixed up.. Generally the TDS value will be more than the hardness. Can you please check them once again and let me know the correct values?
I can then give a proper suggestion.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi sure Mam
@@BhuvanaAdi Mam As You told is right ,But In our area, the water's hardness surpasses its TDS levels, primarily due to the elevated concentration of Ca(OH)2.
@kalaramalingam1985 I would definitely not recommend you to use a dishwasher for such high hardness and TDS levels. You can think of a dishwasher only if you can arrange for soft water supply to the machine.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you so much mam :-)
Try to make video, short and crisp. Dragging too much is irritating and annoying.
Thanks for your suggestion.
I try to keep most of my videos short, crisp and to the point.
Occasionally, when I feel strongly about a topic, I tend to go into detailing. If the length and the content irritated you that much, I guess you could have fast-forwarded it.
@@BhuvanaAdihonestly speaking you have given so much info under the comments section than on the video. But thanks for your hard work. Many just complaint without knowing the hardwork you guys put in🙏🏻🙏🏻
For muncipal water whats the requirement of salt
That depends on how soft or hard your water is. It is better to know the water hardness of your municipal water if that is going to be your source for the dishwasher.
