Where do you go about getting that?At least with my municipal water I can get a report off the internet.

Someone on here or a couple people use the filter for campers. I can't find the link but I was thinking about that since I have well water that is high in sulfur. Anyone have that link?

Thanks Bier Muncher,
I got a question for you. Ok I have well water and it is pretty bad on the sulfur smell. So my whole house runs through a whole house filter and though the softner. My hose spigot do not run through the softner. Do you think I would be good just using one of these RV filters right from my hose spigots to use the hard water or should I use the softened water? I don't have a water report on my well water but I have been thinking about getting an analysis done, but I don't know what its going to cost for that and if just getting the rv filter will set me up nicely I'd rather just do that. Let me know what you think. Thanks for any advice anybody my have for me.

Certainly it would be an improvement over straight tap water from the spigot.
So go with the hard water and not the softened water?

Yeah, definitely go for hard water. I don't remember exactly what he said, but I was reading the homebrew answer book a few weeks back and he mentions that it's a problem if you have a water softener, because it messes with the magnesium ions or something. You're much better off going with hard tap water than soft.QUOTE]
Agreed. Water softeners work by ion exchange resulting in more sodium in your water, which doesn't make for good brewing.

You're much better off going with hard tap water than soft. Water Softeners are mainly to eliminate the mineral deposits that hard water can create...you're not worried about that in beer.
Just be sure not to use your standard old garden hose to feed this thing. They're not foodsafe and can leech bad stuff.
Biermuncher - that is the worst keggle cutting I have ever seen.
Where would you get a "water grade" hose from? and how would you know it was "water grade"?
