In the past year or so, dishwasher detergent manufacturers, in

And they did this terrible thing because they wanted dirtier dishes?

Actually, yes. Or at least wanted them washed by hand. These folks are, in
the main, Luddites.

Perhaps it was because shoving phosphates into the sewer causes
problems elsewhere, but selfish ****heads don't care about the
problems they create for someone else as long as their dishes shine.

If the problems were "phosphates in the sewer lines" what's the algae bloom
doing in an unnamed creek? Either the city's sanitary sewer service needs
some adjustment, or the folks who were dumping raw sewage into a rivulet of
a stream need someone to talk strong to them.



and the fact remains, they didn't remove the phosphates from commercial
DW compounds. I wonder who runs more dish water? A restaurant or a
house? Can you imagine the problems if they took it out of restaurant
dw compounds??
