I am just setting up a (new) brew room in my new house. I want to use a chlorine filter on the water line coming into the sink. Anyone have any good suggestions for what to buy?
I use the GE attached to the end of a RV hose.
First thing to do is check with your municipality supplying your water and find out if they use chlorine or chloramines. Most these days are moving to chloramines. If so, it means a much different filter than what will filter out simple chlorine.
Probably a lot simpler to just use Campden tablets - they wipe out both chlorine and chloramines.
+1, then campden after that.
I have well water so chlorine/ chloramines are not an issue. I do use a sediment filter followed by an activated charcoal filter for my house and brew water. IF you decide you need a filter, here is the place I get my supplies. Good prices and service . .
Yes Campden tablets are the shiznit.
There’s all sorts of inexpensive setups that can be adapted from readily available inline filters found at Lowe’s or Home depot.
Here’s an example: http://www.waterfilters.net/Filters/wholehouse/wholehouse.htm
I just purchased the $150 Whirlpool RO unit from Lowes. Plans are to dilute my alkaline & high ppm city water so I can brew in the 10 SRM range instead of 20…
Plus it just tastes better.
We’ve got pretty hard water that’s treated with chlorine. I got a pretty cheap under-sink unit from Lowes that filters the cold water supply and it was a great move…wish I did it sooner. It has made a great difference for everything from beer to soup to coffee!
Ive read that filtering through a carbon filter slow enough will remove chloramines…it states that on the morebeer website for their water filter.
I also use GE water filter at home. I suggest that you try to search online what is the best water filter to be used. But one of my friends recommended to me the alkaline water filter.
Keep in mind that campden tablets are bad for acetal quick disconnects (if you use them).
