Well Water Safe from the ground?

[Jason]

I have been using well water since we bought our house to fill up the ponds, naturally every time I get it tested it has a higher PH of usually right over 8ph so it's a little hard. I have no filter except for the sediment filter in the pump house and just wanted to make sure that well water is truly a "Fill it and Forget it" water type to use for fish, I have had no problems so far but never really looked into it other than getting the water tested a few times.

What do the experts here think? Thanks

Exactly what parameters were tested? Was it tested for salinity, heavy metals, etc.?

Just standard Pet Smart test of PH, Nitrites, Nitrates, Ammonia, etc.

Mine has iron in it but has never been a problem with the health of my fish, no salt and no other metals as per the Chatham well water testing report .I test it myself with a store bought test and it is the same
