Has anyone had experience with the DiFi Dishwasher Filter? I do not want to install a whole house water softener (space, install expense, they waste water, you need to purchase salt, etc.) and think this might be a good alternative for those of us with hard water. Thanks, Bob CLICK HERE TO GO TO labboy's LINK | ||

My initial response is--BUNK The filter is not going to reduce minerals in the water, or at least it won't reduce it enough to be comparable to a softener. Once you factor in the initial cost, plus the cost of replacement filters, you may be better off installing a whole house system. | ||

Since our dishwashers don't have built-in water softener capabilities, as many upper-end Euro models do, having a dedicated filter---especially one that appears to work very well---is a smart option to whole-house water softening.
I wonder if this product will be aimed at people who are finding white film/poor cleaning results with the new phosphate-free dishwasher detergents. I'm surprised Cascade's parent company hasn't purchased the rights to it! | ||

Filter Install: Easy, No Blood The install of the filter was easy and resulted in no trauma to me or the cabinets. The dark spots you see on the back of the cabinet are scrapes in the laminate from the flexible metal tubing from the faucet spray attachment when it hits the laminate (when we pull out the sprayer or put it back in place). Hope that makes sense. | ||

![]() Older European dishwashers sometimes came without a water softener, in areas with hard water separate softeners were sold with the dishwashers. I had an old Miele for a while that had a separate water softener. The softener used a coarse salt to soften the water. Do these cartridges also contain a kind of salt?
