So I found my local water profile and was going to see if anyone can decipher it. I was debating on trying campden tablets if my water had chloramines in it. From what I see here it doesn't look like it. Does this water look good for brewing without campden tablets or filtering? Thanks in advance. I do all grain brewing.

That report is pretty much useless. Search the forum for Wards Labs information...that will get you on the road to finding what you have.
 
To use the Ez Water Calculator ,http://www.ezwatercalculator.com/ you need the following....
Calcium (ppm)
Magnesium (ppm)
Sodium (ppm)
Chloride (ppm)
Sulfate (ppm)
Bicarbonate or Alkalinity

Or use can always use RO water and add the minerals yourself; Gypsum, Calcium Cloride, Epsom salt, and Lactic Acid are my choices.

Getting away from tap water myself.
And Yes, that report does not tell you everything you need.
