I have been using this tapwater ran through a charcoal filter for brewing. I have never really got into understanding what this all means.

The water report does not tell you enough about the water profile. You'll either have to call their laboratory or send a sample off for testing.

The sodium is a little high, but the hardness and alkalinity is not too high. Download Bru'n Water to learn more about brewing water and how to treat it.
