Okay, so I tried to buy some contraband, phosphate-laden dishwasher detergent in Nevada and the phosphate free crap is apparently there too -- and Nevada wasn't one of the 15 states or so that passed the no phosphate law. Apparently all of the detergent manufacturers have decided to only have phosphate free detergent in their consumer lines (apparently keeping separate processes and separate distribution would be too expensive).
So, I looked into two things -- get some of DDD's FIL's magic white powder or try to find some commercial line stuff that still contains phosphates. I actually found a 16 oz. box of white powder made by Finish (formerly known as Electrosol) in Lowes and on the side of the box I saw this blessed item in the ingredients "Sodium Tripolyphosphate." I'm not sure if Wal-Mart sells it. Next time I'm around a janitorial supply place, I'll see if they sell any of the good commercial stuff.
