Are you sure it is

Yes, it is the Lemi-Shine crystals, as I didn't have crystals before because
I use liquid dishwasher soap, and the Jet Dry (liquid).

Tonight I put the dishes thru one wash using liquid dishwasher, & jet dry
with a short air dry; then I put it thru the rinse cycle using only the
water that came into the tub, with a glass of dissolved Lemi-Shine. We'll
see how it went tomorrow morning when I unload.
Thanks,
