How Samsung Dishwashers Are Built

City of Phoenix Water Services Department, which supplies Phoenix, reports hardness of 187-278 ppm (about 10.9-16.2 grains per gallon) total hardness in the distribution system, per the city's report; hard water that can cause scaling. 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.
