Now I understand knowing what's in your water is much more important when going all grain vs PM or extract. I've been using filtered water from my fridge(tastes great and makes really good beer!)

Based on the report here:

Look at the MWD values on page 4.

Are there any additives I should consider using on my first batch? I know we have very hard water but that's the extent of my knowledge.
 
The report indicates that chloramines are added to the drinking water in your city. You'll want to use campden to neutralize it.

Check out the water primer in the brew science section here for more info.
