What Santa Ana Owners Should Know
City of Santa Ana Water Resources, which supplies Santa Ana, reports hardness of about 250 mg/L (roughly 15 grains per gallon); the city says hard water is common across Southern California. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

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.
