I guess the only issue is will the keg handle pressure of a home water system

Anything is possible. Practical and sensible are different though. Depends on the use. It will not take the place of a Weltrol pressure tank if that is your intention.

Why would you replace beer with water??!!!
That, sir, is alcohol abuse........
I fail to see what you would accomplish. Yes, it should hold common household pressures but the volume of useable water (the draw-down) would be so small as to be impractical in use.

I was thinking about makeing a water heater tank out of one but at 60 psi max on a keg isn't enough but I did find an atwood 10g heater tank. I will probably use it with an electric element and heat exchanger connected to a wood stove. I just want a small tank heater that I can use on generator power. My tankless unit requires too much power.
Isn't it a sacrilege to put water into a beer keg? : )
