Opinions on my ward water report

[raymarkson]

I wanted to share my water report from Ward lab to see if I could get some opinions and insights from some of the knowledgeable people in this community. I have a very limited understanding of water chemistry, but these numbers seem to indicate that I have pretty soft water that would be a good starting point for most beer styles. Am I right in that assessment? Is there anything that glaring in this report that I should pay attention to? Thanks!

Indeed. That is super clean water. You can treat it the same as RO water or Pilsen water.

Yep! Adding salts is easy; taking them away is hard. The only other thing to watch out for is that your water company may switch supplies during the year.

Remarkable water. What is the source?
