I have always considered the "main" dishwasher compartment to be the
one with the cover, which dispenses second. The first one (the
uncovered one) I believe to be the pre-rinse.
By the way - I also use Electrasol - it's the only thing that gets my
tea stains off my mugs. But they do still have the actual tablets -
not just the gel stuff which I hate. Not sure where you shop but all
the groceries I shop at as well as Wal Mart still carry them - plus
they are on their website

1) Why is it that the insturctions for dishwashing tablets, all 3
brands that I checked, say to put the tablet in the "main dispenser"?
And which is the "main dispenser"? They are the same size. How am I
know to know which is main and which isn't?
Is it the one that dispenses first? I've figured out which one that
is, but I'll be most people don't even think about it. And although
which that is is clear, somehow it seems counter-intuitive to me (not
counter-logical, just counter intuitive. And why should the one that
dispenses first be considered the main one. And which of the cups is
the main one?
2) I got some free-offer electrosol Dishwasher tablet a few years
ago, and finally used most of them. I also had a full box of powder
that I had to use before going to buy more of something.
By this time, neither Electrol nor Cascade sold the same kind of
tablets. Now they are already part liquid and come in a water
soluble bag, and they warn you not to handle the bags with wet
fingers. This was too much for me so I bought the house brand (Food
Lion) They are still tablets like Electrosol used to sell. But they
don't have 2 colors (seemingly two ingredients) like the old
Electrosol. I wonder if they are as good. I wonder if the new
semi-liquid things are better. Anyone know?
If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
Just a somewhat related comment. Don't use any kind of powder form if you
have septic. It doesn't all dissolve. Just look at the inlet pipe next
time the tank is pumped. The ones who use powder for washing clothes
and/or/dishes have caked up crystals.
