There are low temperature dishwashers that sanitize with a sanitizing solution (generally chlorine based) and high temperature dishwashers that sanitize with heat.
If I ran a restaurant, I would go with high temp to avoid residual chlorine taste. And I would skip the rinse aid, thank you very much.
- eru 3y agoIf your water is hard, rinse aid helps a lot to make the glasses and dishes look good. For someone running a restaurant, that might be useful.

Or if you want a decent job, install a reverse-osmosis water filtration system in the central water piping that takes out all the nasty mineral salts responsible for the hardness and limescale. Also makes cleaning way easier.
- eru 3y agoSome people like the taste of hard water. Famously the Romans liked to found cities where the water was hard. But the preference persists for some people today. (And the reverse osmosis thing is a big investment, and might not be feasible when renting.)
- amluto 3y agoIt would be nifty IMO if dishwashers had two water feed lines, one for wash and one for rinse. Then plain water could be used for washing and expensive softened or other low-TDS water could be used for rising. Or bonus points for a dishwasher that uses RO concentrate/brine for washing.
