  They do in Europe. They have water softeners too that you have to fill with salt. Don't believe it's the case around the world. More than you ever wanted to know about dishwashers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04

  Many have removable filters that you're supposed to clean periodically. If there's nothing obviously removable in yours then it might have a "self-cleaning" system that would be harder to take out and clean yourself.

  yes, and the answer is every so often

  Wait until I tell you about your water heater's sacrificial anode. NOBODY replaces those.

    I got an electric one so I never need to remember to replace mine!

      I think the electric ones need to be replaced eventually too, not not nearly as often.

        Yeah I think it's something like a 20+ year lifespan, I doubt I'll even be living in the same house in 20 years.
