Do I need more than a dishwasher tablet?

I do use rinse aid but have never added salt as we’re in a soft water area. Never had a problem.

I need salt and rinse aid in fairly large quantities, but I live in area of villainously hard water. It's trial and error I'd say Daddima.

I have soft water, but I still use the capsules which contain everything (detergent, salt and rinse aid).

I'm in London so very hard water and just use the all in one capsules and never have a problem.

I just use a tablet and my glasses are clear. We have soft water. DD adds stuff because their water is hard.

I put salt in the thing at the bottom with the screw top on (hard water) but just a normal tablet (1)

I used dishwasher salt because it stops the whitening you get on glasses. I also use the shine stuff. I stay in Scotland too

I assumed that the tablets were all I needed, but have just seen an ad for the dishwasher salt and a shine ( or something) additive. Do any of you use these, or is it just another marketing ploy?
(I am in Scotland, so have lovely soft water).
