Remove limescale build up from your dishwasher with Opal dishwasher salt granules. Adding dishwash...Remove limescale build up from your dishwasher with Opal dishwasher salt granules. Adding dishwasher salt regularly will help to soften the water and protect against long-term limescale build-up. These salt granules are of the highest purity and do not actually go into the wash chamber but remove calcium deposits in the base of your dishwasher. They periodically backwash the water softener unit in the base and regenerate it by using a clever ion exchange process instead.
Features and Benefits
Cares for your machine - You can keep your dishwasher running for longer and at optimum performance.
Lime scale protection - Keep those calcium deposits down and your dishwasher free from lime scale.
Specially granulated - This works to eliminate the damaging effects caused by hard water by softening it.

FAQs
How often should I add salt?
Check your dishwasher's salt indicator light. Typically, you'll need to refill the salt compartment every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness and dishwasher usage.
Where does the salt go?
The salt is added to a specific compartment in your dishwasher, which is usually located at the bottom.
What happens if I use too much salt?
Using too much salt is unlikely to cause any significant problems, but it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your dishwasher. Refrain from overfilling the compartment.
Can I use regular table salt?
No, you should only use dishwasher salt granules. Table salt contains additives that can clog the water softening unit.
What if my dishwasher doesn't have a salt compartment?
If your dishwasher does not have a salt compartment, it likely does not have a water softening system, and this product is not suitable.
How do I know if my water is hard?
You can check with your local water provider or use a water hardness test kit, available at most hardware stores.
Is this product safe for my dishwasher?
Yes, Dri-Pak Dishwasher Salt Granules are specifically designed for use in dishwashers to protect them from limescale buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most dishwashers that have a built-in water softening system.
Setup: Open the salt compartment of your dishwasher. This is usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher, often near the drain.
Adding Salt: Slowly pour the salt granules into the compartment, using a funnel if necessary, until the compartment is full.
First Use: If using for the first time, fill the salt compartment with water. This helps the salt dissolve and start the softening process.
Care: Close the salt compartment tightly after filling. Make sure the compartment is always sealed to prevent moisture from entering. Ensure the salt compartment is refilled regularly, as indicated by your dishwasher’s indicator light, to ensure that the water softening system continues to function effectively.
