Been doing partial mashes with the my filtered water. I've been using a "whole house filter" which is charcoal and the filter is a .5 micron filter. The tap water here tastes horrible, so this is the reason for this. I've also been running the water through the filter at a rate of about 3/4 gallon per minute which i've heard will remove cholramine.
I eventually want to move into all-grain so i'm kinda curious about whether my setup is adequate enough for the water being filtered.
This is the report i pulled off of the las vegas water district website for 2007 which has the averages:
Alkalinity: 132ppm
Clacium: 84ppm
Chloride: 102ppm
Chlorine residual: 1.08ppm
Hardness: 338ppm
pH: 7.8
Magnessium: 31ppm
Sodium: 110ppm
Not sure if you guys would need anything else, but if so, let me know and i'll see if the report has it.
Thanks
