Here's some info from a mate at SA Water on recent test results - anyone care to interperet this into laymans terms for me and is this water just too ordinary to put into the tank or better to age it?

Dissolved Organic Carbon (mg/L) 12.5
Fluoride (mg/L) 0.33
Chlorine residual (mg/L) 0.4
Total Hardness as CaCO3 (mg/L) 112
Nitrate as Nitrogen (mg/L) 0.179
Nitrite as Nitrogen (mg/L) 0.007
pH 7.5
Phosphorous (mg/L) 0.015
Total dissolved solids (mg/L) 317

Thanks all. :D
