I went with the lower micron filter, cost more but it was the only one that listed lead and other contaminates as being filtered. I think those $5 filters are just to remove large particles.

Hello everyone. I am getting my water from my water heater and thinking about filtering it. Does anyone know if my hot water can go through a water filter? I'm looking at buying the water filter set up from more beer. Thanks

That would be a good question for http://iam.homebrewtalk.com/mabrungard

I would PM him if you don't find your answer.

TThis was one of the best additions to my brew gear, saves me time and money from having to buy ater at the store and is much cleaner than what I get from the tap.

Thought I might offer an update on the original post: You can still get all of the parts listed/shown at Lowes but whirlpool has gone to 3/8" fittings on the filter housing instead of what I think was 3/4" when johnsma22 put it together in 2007. The blue plastic line that comes with the filter (intended to hook up to your faucet) works great in place of the PVC and allows you to not build a mounting bracket. The whole setup cost about $60 last week.

Got mine put together, should make it easier for boiling outside with the cooker, which I have a new one of those on the way, a 100,000 BTU Burner.....

This unit, part no: whkf-dwh still uses 3/4 fittings.
