I see no reason why you couldn't use it.

take the water in to a local fish store see if they can test it. 99% chance its fine to use. the reason you are testing is you should know the basics about the water. ph.... kh... gh....

I agree but Here in INDIA (City: Bangalore) no LFS will check the Water quality, either I have to Buy a Test kit and Do it Myself and I don want to Spend so Much of Money in Buying a Test Kit, But as per My notice I can use the water with out any Problem,

I Thought so,

But it Would be Good to Take Advice from Knowledgeable Guys:

Prevention is Better than Cure I Hope

You don't seem to want to listen to good advice. you don't mention what fish you are keeping currently in your well water, nor do you mention if the discus are wild caught or how many generations from wild they are.

the problem with well water is that the parameters are changeable, depending what's going into the ground around you, and depending on how much it rains.

I just assume that the cost of Discus is trivial compared to that of a test kit in Bangalore; Good luck.

I guess you're right, I totally skipped over that,

I apologize.
