Hey Everybody. I have the water report for my area:

Ca-58.45
Mg-34.35
HCO3-1 -128
SO4-157.5
NA-1 -17.9
CL-1 -28

I have a single stage inline charcoal filter. Will this change my water profile? If so, to what degree?

TIA!:)
 
It will do nothing to your water report. If this is an active carbon filter and you restrict the flow, it will remove chlorine and chloramine, which are both bad in beer. To change the ion concentration you need a RO filter.
