Seriously? That looks almost as close to a blank slate as you could wish for. I'd use a water spreadsheet like Brun Water and build up your water for pretty much any style you want!

I'm pretty impressed.
"Soft", low pH non-mineralized water from a well with little to no carbonates or iron. The Indiana water in our house when I was a kid was "hard" and stank of sulfur. It didn't take long for my folks to buy a water softener and a Brita water filter is always on hand in their refrigerator.

Treat it as if it were RO. Curious as to your location.

@Lefou I was worried about the taste of the water when we found out our new house had well. Turns out best tasting water I have had from a tap and zero smell
