Many of you will know more than me on this one! My sister in law has a new Kitchenaid dishwasher with a built in Softener. She did not know it had one until the "Add Salt" light came on.
Can you tell me, what type of salt does it use? KA recommends their "Soft Spring" salt and it is like 8 bucks for 2 pounds of it. Is it the same as the "Solar Salt" you can buy for some water softeners or is it more like a Kosher salt?
I will only use the Morton's Pelletized salt in my home unit as well as the units we install under the Hobart name as it is nearly 100% pure but I am not sure you can put that into the dishwasher and have it work okay.
Just seems like if it is only solar type salt, then why not buy a 40 lb bag for 5 bucks and have it for a much longer time?
I could always just crush the Pellets for her and be done with it as I always have at least a bag in reserve.
What do you all think?
Thanks
Steve
