@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.

@bytor And for the record, I did talk about water hardness but only in regards to how much detergent you should use. In the second video I talked about the components in detergents, and even cheap powder has softening agents.

And BTW, vinegar works OK but you'll probably have a less fussy and more effective clean with a bottle of dishwasher cleaner. In my experience they're like magic.

@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.
