As shown in the last column of this table, a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance when using very hard water.
Other suggestions:
•Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle.
•As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub.
•Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.
