I would like to filter out as much chlorine as I can from my brewing water. Will using a carbon wrap undersink type filter effect any of the other water chemistry attributes? Will it reduce other brewing ions present in my brewing water?

Ok here is the deal. I have an upright fridge/freezer, (freezer on top and fridge on bottom). I want to make the entire thing a fridge so I can put my kegs in the bottom and my bottles in the top. I figured I would need to hook the entire thing up to a temp controller and then I was going to...

What I do is I add my beer to my keg and close it all up then hook up my CO2 lines to the keg. After that is done I turn up my pressure to 25 psi and purge as much of the atmospheric air from the keg as I can,(usually pull the pressure release valve quickly about 8-10 time), this keeps oxygen...
