Suds is suds, right?

[hairyben]

Or so I've always maintained, which is why I've always bought morrisons cheapo dishwasher tablets for our flatshare. Not that I'm saying that all the advertised "advanced new formulas" and suchlike is absolute tosh, just that suds cleans and so long as it cleans who cares.

But the last few weeks it's been a bit st, glasses all smeared etc. Oh I though, looks like this 20-odd year old heap of a dishwashers finally had it.

But, co-incidentally, we've been using finish tablets- don't know who bought them or why. But I though I'd try one of the morrison own brand cheapo's just to satisfy curiosity.

Sparkling glasses again.

Go figure. Finish "advanced formula" not compatible with crappy old dishwashers? Who knows. I'm off to kill myself for posting a thread about freaking dishwasher tablets.

Ah well you need Rinse-aid, Salt and probably a fruitbat as well.

It could have been far far worse, you could have posted a thread about sustainable urban drainage systems

That's what I thought, too.

I was expecting a rant about the EA insisting on swales for water polishing, even though you'd already got a balancing pond.

I just did a scheme which included an AWP, some 100x60m (ish - I cant remember the exact size) the entire sub base was one huge great big attenuation tank. We had to put a hydro brake in for that.

On the other side of the scheme we had some rainwater harvesting. The drainage engineer got his sums a bit wrong (not his fault I might add) but the IL of the pipe going into the underground tank was too high, so we needed an inline filter which cost about £2k above a gravity fed one.

I put the £2k up lift to my client who asked what the overall cost of the RWH system was....the answer? circa £17k.

£17k buys a hell of a lot of water doesn't it?
