Why this installation is sized differently here in Sunrise

Sunrise draws from four Biscayne Aquifer wellfields (Springtree, two Sawgrass fields, and Southwest), a multi-wellfield source profile shared by several western Broward utilities.

For Sunrise homeowners that translates into a specific set of treatment priorities. We commonly hear about:

  • Chlorine or chloramine taste throughout the home
  • Sediment showing in every aerator
  • Hard-water scaling on every fixture
  • Disinfection by-product (TTHM, HAA5) exposure during shower steam
  • Soft skin and hair concerns from high-residual disinfectant

What is in Sunrise water (notable details)

  • free chlorine secondary disinfection with TTHM and HAA5 reported within EPA limits in the most recent Sunrise Water Quality Report (source)
  • the Sunrise four-wellfield Biscayne Aquifer source profile is shared by several western Broward utilities and is the basis for the South Florida Water Management District's regional wellfield protection planning (source)

Frequently Asked Questions

What does City of Sunrise Utilities Department actually put in my Sunrise tap water?

City of Sunrise Utilities Department finishes water with free chlorine secondary disinfection and publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report covering regulated contaminants. Hardness is not part of the CCR template, so we measure it on site. Sunrise finished water typically tests 7 to 11 grains per gallon at the kitchen tap.

Is Sunrise water actually hard, and does it need softening?

Sunrise finished water typically tests 7 to 11 grains per gallon, which is moderately hard to hard on the water-treatment scale. That level produces visible scale on glass shower doors, faucet aerators, and water heater elements within a year. Whether to install a softener depends on appliance load and household preference, not just the gpg number.

What size whole-house filtration does a typical Sunrise home need?

For a typical Sunrise home pulling 7 to 11 grains per gallon water from City of Sunrise Utilities Department, we usually size to peak flow of 8 to 12 gpm with a catalytic carbon tank for chlorine reduction. Sediment pre-filtration is sized to the service line. The local chlorine residual is the driver for carbon media selection, not a generic spec sheet.

Do I need a softener with my whole-house filter in Sunrise?

At 7 to 11 grains per gallon, most Sunrise homeowners notice scale on glass shower doors and faucet aerators within a year. Whether to add a softener upstream of the carbon tank depends on appliance load (especially tankless water heaters), aesthetic preferences, and whether you want sodium or potassium regeneration. We size both together when both are warranted.
