How much of the softener salt is needed per load?

Not too much. I have had my dishwasher over s year and a half and have only used about a bag and a fourth of my second bag.

I have a Thermidor dishwasher (made by Bosch). It has a receptacle I fill periodically. The DW senses and dispenses according to need. I have very hard water and go through a bag every 6-8 weeks. Due to hard water, my old dishwasher required repairs 3-4 times a year including 4 new motors. I'd rather spend the money on salt to prevent problems rather than pay for expensive and frequent repairs. And dishes come out cleaner. Very pleased with the combo of new DW with built-in water softener.

i boil some water and add sea salt, let it cool and add that to the kraut. I use 1 TB of salt per quart of water (adjust for smaller amount)

The unit came with a 2 year limited warranty. The recommended filter usage is about 12 months of use per filter. This unit is well built so I have no hesitation in stating that this will be in service for many years to come. Since this is strictly a Whole House Filtration system and not a water softener it does not use salt. I do plan on adding a Water Softener system in the near future which would be plumbed in behind the filter. So far the unit has been in service for 6 months and is working great.

White vinegar, but there should be instructions how to do this. I would go to the manufacturer's site and see if the directions are posted there. Salt will just add more hard water build-up.

The instructions I read said, no. Need Dishwasher Water Softener Salt. I don't know the difference, but I did not want to take any chances with my expensive dishwasher.

Just use the normal salt pellets for water conditioners sold at Lowes, Kmart, etc. If you have iron in your water use the bags marked for iron. It will take it out along with making the water soft.

The difference is basically your volume of water use. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this product. I live in Oxford, Pa. where this water conditioner is distributed in USA. I have well water that is very hard and I use a traditional salt water softener. I have used this for over 6 months and while this cannot soften water, it is supposed to stop scale buildup. Well, there is no change in scale buildup and I can't see any positive results. I had to re-connect my salt based conditioner. I really wanted this product to work, considering it affects my local economy, but sadly it is useless. I should have listened to local plumbers who told me it is a waste of money.

this is what I am using one for. my filter backwashes at 10GPM and seems to work without backing up. depends on the size of your softener and what type of soil you have.

Also, technically, it's made out of salts, which is exactly what you use to soften your water. So, considering that, you definitely shouldn't have any trouble. ;)

we buy 50lbs of pool salt from walmart about $6. I guess it is like epson salt.

Yes!! We just put a bag and a half of the salt for water softeners that you can buy at a hardware store. It worked really well. I believe you need to have a special salt-water pump, though, which Intex sells. Trying to use salt water with a normal pump might cause damage.

Salt is salt is salt is salt. Regular softener salt ought to work, but it often is quite coarse and you may have trouble putting in that small hole on the softener.
