(57) The device, in particular for dishwashers, comprises: a breather chamber (12) and a receptacle (10) for the salt intended to form, when mixed with water, a brine for regeneration of a decalcifier. The receptacle (10) includes a casing (14) which defines within it a cavity (16) for containing the brine and from which projects a neck (18) through which the cavity (16) communicates with the washing vessel (20). The neck (18) is surrounded by an outer wall (22) in such a way as to define a substantially annular air space (24) between the neck (18) and the wall (22), the receptacle (10) moreover being associated with a removable closure plug (28). The breather chamber (12) communicates on one side with the external environment and on the other with the washing vessel (20) through the air space (24).
