Carbonated Water

Howdy all,

I am going to be adding a cornie of water to kegerator so that i can have multiple soda flavors (just add flavor & water)
I know that I have to pressure the keg to 30 PSi to carbonate the water.

My questions is can I just use regular tap water, or should I filter it? Due to the lack of Alcohol for preservative, am I going to get a slimy green keg after a while, or will the CO2 preserve it?

Thanks

I personally would run it through a charcoal filter and pasteurize it. Kill the bugs anyway, filtering is really just an option.

I have very good water & just keg it. I've been doing this for several years now without cleaning the kegs, except when they need o-rings. [By the way, sodaclubusa.com has a great selection of concentrates.]

Thank you for your responses.
I should be getting my gauges in the next day or two, then I set up my multi regulator kegerator, and go from there

you could use bottled distilled or spring water, its already filtered and had all the bugs killed just dump it in and add CO2!
