What Anaheim Owners Should Know
Anaheim Public Utilities (water system), which supplies Anaheim, reports hardness of about 300 mg/L (roughly 18 grains per gallon; hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: City of Anaheim - Water Hardness
California requires businesses that repair major home appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, washers and dryers for pay to register with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services as Major Home Appliance Service Dealers, including out-of-state providers serving California customers.
