What affects appliances in Merkel?
Merkel has its own water arrangement and a lot of older and rural homes.
Water from Abilene
Merkel buys treated surface water from the City of Abilene, which draws from Fort Phantom Hill, Hubbard Creek and O.H. Ivie. Abilene reports hardness around 240 mg/L, so it is reasonable to plan for the same scale in Merkel. It clogs ice makers, dishwasher valves and washer inlet screens.
Older homes and long dryer vents
Many Merkel homes are older, and dryer vents can run a long way through the attic or crawl space. Lint builds up fast in long runs, which is why a dryer that takes two cycles is often a vent problem, not a dryer problem.
Heat, dust and storms
Summer heat pushes refrigerators and dryers hard, and wind blown dust packs condenser coils. Spring storms can send surges through the lines to the west of town, so a surge protector on the fridge and washer is worth it.
Rural properties
Homes outside town have longer runs and sometimes a second fridge in a garage or shop. Garage fridges fail earlier in July heat, so we plan for that.
