The story

The homeowner had replaced their dishwasher twice in 5 years and assumed it was a brand problem. After the second replacement, they noticed the film was on glasses straight out of the upper rack.

Our test showed 21 grains per gallon, among the hardest we have measured in the metro. The dishwasher was fine. The water was forming a calcium film on every load.

Installed an Essential tier: pre-sediment, catalytic carbon, and a 48,000-grain softener sized to a 3-person household. The softener regenerates twice a week on their usage pattern.

Within two weeks the glassware was running clear out of the dishwasher. Soap consumption dropped roughly in half. The homeowner stopped replacing dishwashers.

Jorge walked the calcium math at the kitchen table before quoting. We bought because we understood, not because we were pitched.
