Regrettably, there is no way to gauge how this LG 24" Top Control Dishwasher with QuadWash™ and EasyRack™ Plus, Model # LDP6797ST will hold up to hard water over time. Geographically, more than 60% of the USA suffers from hard or very hard water with an overwhelming 85 percent of the USA having hard water. Hard water can be potentially corrosive and damaging to domestic appliances, pipework and central heating boilers. The six metro areas that are notorious for having the hardest water in the country are Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Phoenix, San Antonio and Tampa. If you have issues with hard water damage to your appliances, you may want to look into a Single-tank cabinet or Twin-Tank (Dual-Tank) water softener. An Eddy descaler is often an effective protection against the problematic effects of hard water...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No dishwasher is going to hold up well with hard water. Even a water softener will cause more wear on things like water heaters. With hard water like we have in our other house I buy the afresh dishwasher cleaner and run it through once a month and that will clean out all the deposits. You can also use vinegar and run a cycle to clean is as well and that will help keep everything running smooth. If your water is really hard then run it a couple times a month with cleaner, the cleaner is cheap compared to repairs and parts replacements. The alternative is keep a maintenance contract on it through the manufacturer or through Sears or something to cover the costs. Hope this helps.
