I was more thinking of the chemical composition of the stuff that comes out of the city water system. After treatment. That’s gotta be the pond craigerrr is going to wade across?

And yes, @Craigerrr should be able to skip a rock across it on his way over!

Honestly, it's not overdone, I just treat it for chlorine, and add small amounts of salts and acid.
The pH is ~7.3 so pretty easy to work with.
Oh, and it tastes good right out of the faucet too.

I get my water from the big pond just to the west of Brian's pond. My pH is a little higher (~7.6) and just like @The Brew Mentor , I usually only add a few grams of gypsum and calcium chloride. Because it's a big lake, there isn't a seasonal variability (that I know of). Plus, because my water comes from Lake Michigan and returns back to Lake Michigan, I don't really need to worry too much about water conservation. I don't waste it, because I still need to pay for it, but, I don't have to worry about draining the lake either.

Yesterday we drove South from Bandon, stopping first at Cape Blanco, which is the westernmost point in the Continental US. The lighthouse and shark tooth rock are from that stop. We continued driving South to Port Orford, which is the westernmost city in the Continental US, and home to one of two “dolly” ports in the US (and only six in the world). Boats get hoisted in and out of the ocean, then parked on these dollies when not in use. In Port Orford we enjoyed a tasty lunch of fish and chips, before taking a nice stroll on the beach.

I bet that water is a little chillier than what I will have tomorrow at the beach LOL.

Just beautiful.
 
I didn't take my phone down to the beach yesterday, but I got up at 5:15 and drove out to see the sunrise. There were too many people fishing for me to have enough room to do it myself earlier, but I waited until they left and just played around hooking up a couple of sand fleas. I did get in the water just after sunrise, and it was in the mid 80s. I guess it was a tad warmer LOL.
