Hey guys, here's my water report. The water tastes terrible unless filtered. Could I get some feedback from you water experts out there?

pH 7.4
Alkalinity 190 ppm
Sulfates 71.6 ppm
Chloride 51.2 ppm
Chlorine 1.2 ppm
Sodium - Do not test
Bicarbonate - Do not test

Is it vital to have those two they do not test?
 
The chlorine is "residual chlorine". I don't know how much of a difference that makes.
 
See if you could find out the magnesium and calcium levels. That'll help. EDIT: It's pretty important to know the sodium level.
