First water test on pond

[CSMcMullen1]

I know going to the big box store is generally a bad idea. My lfs kinda rubbed me the wrong way so I got my water tested at the big store. I will post the results here. Is it safe for gold fish

Hi CSMcMullen,
According to those test results your KH is low.
Adding baking soda will raise your KH and PH.
What is the water volume of your pond?

I haven't figured the volume out yet. I will get that done very soon.
As far as adding stuff to pond well that may be a waste. The pond constantly gets new water. Unless there is something that would dissolve over time

Ah, ok, I just had a look at your pond setup.
If it's being fed from an underground spring, you might also want to test for phosphates.
You don't want to be dealing with a constant nuisance algae problem.
The PH value is low for goldfish so they may wind up having health issues.
Perhaps after your pond flushes itself out after a while the PH could slowly rise.
