It doesn’t matter where you live. We just installed a Complete Whole House Water Purification System in Stockton, Ca. Happy homeowners are enjoying fresh water with a under sink water filter. Their cloths are coming out cleaner with no optical brighteners in their soap because we gave them a life time soap package. With hard water your cloths get beat up and don’t last as long. Take a look at your dryer vent and see how much lent you are getting using hard water, then after your whole house water filter is install check out your dryer vent. The dryer vent lent is minimal. This will change after you have a whole house purification system. www.ultratechwatersystems.com
