- Water left in dishwasher. Electrolux says a little standing water is normal, but water above the filter screen means checking the drain for debris, running the disposer, and removing a new disposer's knockout plug. Source: Electrolux - Why is water in the dishwasher after it runs?

Around Paterson
Passaic Valley Water Commission (Main Service Area), which supplies Paterson, reports hardness of varies by supply blend: about 106-242 mg/L as CaCO3 from PVWC's Little Falls plant and about 42 mg/L from the Wanaque plant (NJDWSC); most Main Service Area customers get a blend of the two, so moderately soft to hard. 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.
