Default Do I have to treat my water before putting Koi back in?

thats fine. you need to add organic dolomitic lime back to the water if there isnt
sufficient calcium and magnesium or hardness in the water so it is buffered. Ingrid

I just finished my stream and veggie pond and filled it back up (bout
4000 gallons). is it safe to put my Koi back in the pond or do I have to
treat the water somehow? I used ground water but it goes through a
filter to make it drinkable.. will that hurt the fish? I really want to
put them back in.

Thanks
Mike
