What do you guys use? I'd like to get something I can hook up to my hose, like a culligan or something.

Two issues back in BYO there was an article using an inline culligan filter and pvc. Cost was around $25 total. If you like, I will pm you the parts list.

Walmart has one that is labelled as a whole house filter for $27. It has a clear body with 3/4" FPT ins and outs and uses standard cartridges. It comes with a carbon filter and a two-pack of replacements are only $9. This is a great deal actually. I'm going to be buying two for actual whole-house filtration but I plan to put a sediment cart ahead of the carbon one just to change out whichever actually needs changing. That is, if there's a lot of sediment in the water, I'd rather change out the cheaper sediment filter more often rather than continuously clog the carbon unit. I'll take my brewing water from any faucet in the house. If you want to use in a garden hose situation, just get 3/4 female pipe to garden hose adapters or use 3/4" MPT to hose barb connectors to put the thing inline with a hose.

I did that one--but I had to order the filter from Culligan, couldn't find it locally.

Cool little project though.

This is probably a dumb question, but will this filter out minerals in the water? I take into account my water profile when brewing, but would I lose any of my natural minerals using an inline filter?

I use an Omnifilter whole house filter, clear base with a 20 micron filter for post CFC, and a .5 micron for kegging. Great system. All in all about 30 in filter and fittings.

Reverse osmosis and distillation remove minerals. I found this link while researching filters: http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.com/water_filter_comparison_matrix.cfm
I ended up buying the Aquasana system off ebay.
Got the unit that mounts alongside the kitchen sink faucet. I just use it for drinking water and brewing. The flow rate would be too low for the garden hose approach like the BYO shower filter. It flows at something around a gallon per minute.
