I like to keep Ca separate from Mg when addressing issues.
HOLY SHIT!!!! I know water hardness in aquarium terms, and your water is almost 15dKH. HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!!! That is some seriously hard water, I am not even joking about that. You could throw in some sand & gravel and get concrete. Holy. Fucking. Shit. That is some hard water.
You've got appreciable levels of NO3 (nitrate), that, even though not exceeding legal limits, which I thought were 40ppm, not 50. If you were keeping fish you would only be able to keep the hardier animals specifically for these nitrate levels. In growing plants, you can use that to your advantage, IMO, if you utilize soil food web critters as much as possible.
I would filter this water, then add back some tap water. I like the Ca:Mg ratio, but that's not to say it's all available.
MAN that's some hard water!
