You will especially need to use dishwasher specific salt if you live in a hard water area. Why Do I Need to Use Salt in my Dishwasher? Salt is needed to ensure that your dishwasher's in-built water softener gives an optimum performance. The salt isn't used to soften the water, it's used to clean the crystals in the water softener unit. You can set the softener to be at minimum setting if you are in a soft water area. If you stopped using it and then started again you may find that the impurities caught by the crystals have simply found their way into the appliance. This will cause a restriction in the softener unit. If you don't put salt in the appliance then the regeneration crystals will clump together over time and solidify.

The best quality softeners last 15 to 18 years unless you have an Autotrol Turbulator in your softener, in which case add 25% more time 19 to 23 years. Knowing what make, model and age of your softener would help greatly in assessing. If you initiate a manual regeneration and regeneration does not happen you may need to replace the softener.
