I’ll have to give that a try! I use citric acid for cleaning cycles, but vinegar is cheaper.

Acid no bueno for the aluminum basket spindles on all modern washers. Better off sending in softened water.

Is there a way to do that with a sink hookup that also allows my sink hookup dishwasher to attach to it? I rent and don’t have access to the water heater, or the OK to mess with the guts of the sink, or open up a wall or anything like that.

Either way it’s not a big deal, worst case scenario I keep doing what’s been working fine.

You could try something like that, then you would have to also pick some fittings to match whatever your dishwasher supply line uses. You would also need another short hose between the filter housing and your dishwasher. I think you could recharge the cartridge by soaking it in salt water occasionally, but otherwise they sell replacement cartridges.

Sweet! I dunno if it’ll fit, but I’ll look into it.
