It never rains but pours in this house.

My dishwasher has tipped its water onto the floor instead of pumping out
down the drain.
This is because something is broken.

I sent for the repair man ( its insured) . I was told on the phone that
the problem was because I was not using a lime scale remover and so the
dishwasher had corroded.

It might be true its corroded or something , like a seal on the bottom
where the water drains has gone porous ( I know because it has fallen off
in two pieces and the dishwasher is a bit rusty but its 11 years old).

I have been told I have to buy and use this lime scale stuff when the
repair man comes.

I don't want to sound daft, but we have very water where I live. Nothing
else furs up , why should the dishwasher?

I just put the problem down to old age of the machine. It went wrong about
two years ago when the suppressor broke.

Should I just pay the £11 for this stuff and shut up?

Oh, and will it be OK down my septic tank?

Sounds a bit of a con - At 11 years old perhaps time for a new one - if
there is known corrosion then it will only get worse.
