Have just had installed a Whirlpool dishwasher. Reading the instructions!! I see it calls for the use of dishwasher salt. My previous dishwasher did not mention this. Is the use of dishwasher salt widespread in NZ? I live on the Kapiti Coast if that makes a difference.

TIA

Barry

dishwasher salt isn't really needed in NZ. Is there an option to turn it off?
There is an old thread about it here.

Thank you farcus. I will turn the flashing red S off. The link you sent was most informative.
