Softened water changes how a dishwasher runs, and it is mostly for the better — fewer spots and less scale. The soap dose may need adjusting, and the benefit outweighs the change.
The spots
Softened water leaves far fewer spots and film on the dishes, because the minerals that cause them are gone. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Jefferson City, that is the biggest visible difference.
The scale
The dishwasher's heating element and spray arms stay cleaner without the mineral buildup, so it runs better and lasts longer.
The soap
Soft water lathers so well that the detergent may foam more, and some users reduce the dose or rely on the rinse aid.
The result
The glassware comes out clear, and the machine needs less maintenance over its life.
