> Dishwasher salt is not actually widely available in the US
I am in the Bay Area. I bought some off Amazon no problem. It came from the US too.
> since we we generally don't have dishwashers with built in water softeners that need the salt.
Landlord installed a Bosch dishwasher, which has a water softener. The water is pretty hard (I can see by the shower faucet, and confirmed on the utility website). I'm assuming he didn't bother to import the dishwasher from Europe so it must be available in the US.
Yes, Miele too. All the German brands available in the USA are like that. Salt for them is readily available online and at higher-end appliance stores.
