Hi All,
I am looking for a bit of advice on the use of a standard garden hose and an active carbon filter in my brewing setup.
My plan is to mount the active carbon filter on my brew rig and run water to it from the garden hose. Water coming OUT of the filter would NOT be run through the garden hose.
My question is will using the filter negate any effects/taste of using the garden hose?
My second option is to mount the filter at the tap and drag water over to my brewing setup in buckets. But this is what I want to avoid if at all possible.
I have been unable to find a garden hose rated safe for drinking or an RV hose where I live, so this is not currently an option.
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, I have searched the forums, but am struggling to find anything factual. I am not looking to restart the debate about garden hoses leaching lead or other stuff into water.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Zac
