Hey everyone,
We are in a very rural area, and will be using a well for our water. We're just a 1bbl for now, and testing the waters (pun intended)…
Here's our situation and what we want:
- We must use well water to brew with
- We are going to RO filter the water into a holding tank
- We are then going to heat it to 165 or so through a tankless water heater (Rennai C199 was our hope) straight into the HLT, allowing us to double batch in one shift by not waiting at all on the HLT to heat
Our problem is that Rennai said we shouldn't use RO water through their tankless water heaters, as the water will pull metals from the internals of the heater, and eventually the heater will fail. What would you guys suggest? My first thought is a second and smaller holding tank that I can fill with the proper amount of water for each batch, treat it, and then put it through the tankless heater. Then the untreated water in the larger holding tank would still be there to go to the taproom for drinking water and to a hose for cool spotless rinses.
Thanks in advance!
