I would love some advice from Martin, AJ, or other water gurus out there. I have been brewing (allgrain) with arrowhead spring water for a decade because my house had a water softener. The one time I tried to brew with distilled and build my water turned out flat and boring. Anyway, the water softener died so I got a Halo 5 water filtration system ( with multi-reversing polarity…not sure if that matters ), and sent a sample to ward with hopes to be able to brew with my house water now ( which tastes great now ). Below is the report and I would be appreciative for any advice as to if it is appropriate to brew with. I typically brew lagers, IPAs, porters/stouts. Thanks in advance.
