Can I somehow get my whites clean in yellow water?

I live in Ft Lauderdale and the city water here is yellow! I have looked into whole house filters but they are very expensive and I can’t make the investment.
I’m frustrated because all of our white clothes are yellowing and I can’t get them white again. When the laundry tub fills up, the water is yellow so no matter what type of detergent I add it just becomes foamy yellow water.

Do you have any suggestions? Coincidentally, we fine broke down and decided that it is time to replace our outdated and inefficient washer and dryer. Maybe we could find one that has built in filtration system….

Thanks!

I work for a bottled water company which also installs filtration systems ranging from whole-house systems and point-of-entry to point of use to undercounter units. A customer recently asked about a whole-house system which would be located underground between his home and the city water main, however, even on a Web search we’ve been unable to find anything like this, and our operations manager cannot recall seeing anything that meets these specifications at any of the trade shows or training sessions he has attended. Is there anyone out there who either has a system like this or works with systems like these, and could point me in the right direction? The man actually said his neighbor has one…but we think he may be mistaken as to what his neighbor has.

I am looking into getting a Brita water filter for my home. I am looking at the kind that attaches to my kitchen faucet. Is there really anything that this can filter out of city water, besides the chlorine? I am just wondering if it will be worth spending the . I do not want to spend it, then find out that the water is already being filtered enough before it reaches my house.

Thank-you for your answers, I just want a second opinion before I go out and spend on a water filter thingy.

Thanks again, Tyler

The water is not safe to drink. I need a unit to take with me,
Where I will be living for over 3 months has no bore-hole and no connection to city water. I will be living in a house and will have to buy water for drinking and everything else. A water pitcher is not enough.
