Satellite Beach water in short
Satellite Beach is on City of Melbourne water: about 6 grains per gallon of hardness in mid-2026, chloramine disinfection, and 104 ppm sodium in 2025. Beachside homes often start with catalytic carbon for the chloramine and reverse osmosis for drinking water, then decide on a softener after testing.

The City of Melbourne supplies Satellite Beach, along with Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. Your water is a blend of Lake Washington surface water and reverse-osmosis-treated Floridan aquifer water, disinfected with chloramine.
Because part of Melbourne's supply starts as brackish well water, its sodium is higher than Cocoa's (104 ppm vs. 62.7 ppm in 2025). For anyone watching sodium, an under-sink RO unit is the simple fix. Keep in mind that a salt-based softener adds a little sodium too.
Hardness of about 6 grains per gallon is moderate. Some homes are well served by a catalytic carbon filter plus RO; others add a softener to protect water heaters and glass shower doors. We test first and tell you which makes sense.
