Dishwasher - how much salt is too much

[Diggory]

I’ve got an integrated LAMONA slim Dishwasher.
It’s about a year old but I’ve only been using it for maybe two months.
I now use it once a day and as I live in a very hard water area; the machine is set to five (highest).
I’m getting through about a kilogram of salt in less than a week; every five maybe six days.
The reservoir lid seats firmly and is not damaged.

I called ‘LAMONA’ and they offered to send someone to look at it as it’s still under warranty.
Before I go this route (and pull it out for inspection) - is the salt usage excessive ?

Thanks D

Should get a month out of it at least. Ours gets filled every 2 months I guess

Thanks reply @Wayners.
So I may well have a fault with it - doh!
I was really hoping not to drag it out.
Anything I could try/check before I call LAMONA.

I just looked up instructions and you need to put 1L of water in before you add salt.
Then add 2kg of salt. Check instructions though.
I'd measure out so you know it's all going in to spec. That's a lot of salt to use in a week
