Inline water filter

[aj65]

Hi does anyone use an inline water filter?
wanted to know anyones experince with them.
How do they change the water profile, what do they take out/add in.
Do tou still need to treat water.
Any noticable difference in taste of end product.
Thanks in advance

Ps apologies if its been spoken about before

Yes, I use one with a cartridge under the sink.

I can't say what difference it makes as I started brewing after it was fitted. But the drinking water is great with no hint of chlorine so I guess it's great for brewing too.

I looked into water treatment but it came across as a black art, was never good at chemistry at school. I do measure the pH of my mash and usually it's around 5.4 so no need to do anything.

I could be wrong but i think they only remove chlorine and particulates. I don't think they will change your water profile.

I sent off my tap water and filtered tap water for a professional brewing liquor report and please take a read as you’ll find there’s a lot taken out in filtered water.

There are different types of filter Carbon filters remove mainly chloride and particulates but you can get RO filters that remove everything and several other types including UV, IR and ionisers all have different functions and depending on what your starting with they would be unlikely to replace water treatment.

There you go i stand corrected. That has removed a lot. Is that a carbon based unit?

It is a carbon based filtration until with two cartridges, needless to say I’m using my tap water for brewing.
