Determine the water hardness in your local area

Your local water company will be able to provide you with information. Identify the setting you require for your DishDrawer® from the water hardness table below. For example, if your water hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your DishDrawer® should be 4. Refer to the ‘Option adjustments’ section to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to your water hardness.
