Dishwasher Notes for Arlington, VA
Arlington County Department of Environmental Services (water treated by the Washington Aqueduct from the Potomac River), which supplies Arlington, reports hardness of about 135 mg/L (8 grains per gallon) on average. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
