If you have not refilled the salt container, your water softener
is clapped. Your dishwasher may however be capable of rinsing dishes
in hard water without lime deposition in same strange manner.
Manufacturers do not fit salt containers out of the goodness of their
heart. If it didn't work, they wouldn't fit it!

Whatever the 'strange manner' is, it's effective. You have not,
however, answered my question.
