@TechConnectify in your dishwasher and detergent pods yay or nay, did you ever talk about hard water? Off the top of my head I don't think you did, but I haven't gone and rewatched them either. I just wanted to note that most powders don't have citric acid or anything in them like that that can be used to fight hard water residue the way most detergent pods do.

@TechConnectify we switched to powder a while ago and started sprinkling some in at the beginning and it worked awesome, but then our dishwasher slowly got less and less effective over time with more and more undissolved detergent. I finally tracked it down to hard water buildup, so I'm running a couple of Cycles with a whole bunch of vinegar through it, but I think this is an important consideration that could be added if you ever do another dishwasher video.

@TechConnectify @TechConnectify I tested varying amounts of powder in the dispenser and ruled that out the first thing. It is distinctly different from hard water buildup. I hear Chicagoland is around 8 grains per gallon. In my city in Southern Ontario it's 14, so hard water crusties slowly reducing pressure is the only thing I have not been able to rule out.
