Dishwasher Notes for Paterson, NJ
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.
