What Asheville Owners Should Know
City of Asheville Water Resources Department, which supplies Asheville, reports hardness of about 5.5 ppm annual average (very soft). 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.
