Question…&nbsp; I ordered the kit suggested.&nbsp; Since I use my outside faucet and I use a carbon filter, should I run the test water to be submitted through the carbon filter outside like when I brew?&nbsp; Or can I just use my inside water?

I assume you want to test the water that you’re actually using to brew…the filtered water.

Yes. Although there might also be use for that test in pools it is mostly used for aquariums.

Yes Denny.&nbsp; I use the water supply outside my house (same one I use to water plants, wash the car, etc.) run through a carbon filter that came with my B3-1500 from MoreBeer.&nbsp; Now I assume that that water is the same as the water that comes out of our kitchen sink, but who knows (about the pipes, etc.)?&nbsp; I’m not sure about how particular they are about the sample that you send into them.
