Product Information
Full details
Finish Dishwasher Salt is an essential water-softening solution for homeowners in hard water areas who want to maximize their dishwasher's cleaning efficiency and protect their glassware. By neutralizing limescale build-up, this 99 percent pure salt ensures your appliance functions at its best, though users must note that it is strictly for use in the dedicated salt compartment and should not be used in place of standard dishwashing detergent.

FAQs
Can I use regular table salt instead of Finish Dishwasher Salt?
No. Regular table salt contains impurities and anti-caking agents that can clog the dishwasher's softening unit and cause permanent damage.
How often should I refill the salt?
Frequency depends on your water hardness and how often you run the machine. Most modern dishwashers have a light indicator that will alert you when levels are low.
Is this product safe for all dishwashers?
It is safe for all dishwashers equipped with an integrated water-softening compartment. Check your dishwasher's manual to confirm it has this feature.
What if I live in a soft water area?
If your water is naturally soft, you generally do not need to use dishwasher salt, as there is no mineral buildup to counteract.
Does salt replace the need for rinse aid?
No. Salt manages water hardness inside the machine, while rinse aid helps water slide off dishes during the drying phase to prevent water spots on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Dishwasher light indicates low salt even after filling
The salt may need time to dissolve and trigger the sensor. Run a short rinse cycle to help the salt settle and activate the sensor.
White residue remains on dishes despite using salt
Check your dishwasher's water hardness setting; you may need to increase the hardness level in your machine's software settings to match your local water supply.
Salt compartment lid won't seal properly
Clean the screw threads of the salt cap and the reservoir rim to remove any crystalized salt buildup that may be preventing a tight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Finish Dishwasher Salt, locate the salt reservoir typically found at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Unscrew the cap and use a funnel if necessary to pour the salt into the unit until it is full. It is important to wipe away any excess salt that spills into the tub during the filling process to prevent potential corrosion of the stainless steel interior. Always ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent water from leaking into the salt container. This product is compatible with all major dishwasher brands that feature an integrated water-softening unit.
