Is there something missing from the source water report that would make the reason why an RO system is being used more evident?
I mean, that's pretty respectable water already...

Cheers!

#1 - his alkalinity is a little high for pale beers

Then there are other general benefits of RO:
#2 - RO makes your water more consistent. Some water sources vary quite a bit with the seasons as either the source water changes or the supplier changes their sources.
#3 - RO filters out most contaminants that while the EPA may say are within safe limits, you may decide you'd rather not consume.
 
"A little high" can be managed with acid :)
ftr, I brew exclusively with my RO system water, but my TDS is 300+ on a good day with RA ~150, and the iron content is borderline.
I didn't have a viable option...

Cheers!
