Whatever is in your water.
Koi do just fine in fresh water, which will have some trace levels of
various salts, not just sodium chloride, but also calcium and magnesium.
(which affect the total hardness)
Happy ponding,

one thing. dont add salt until you have tested your water. many people, especially
those along coastal areas have quite a bit of salt in their water already. also,
test for sodium in softened water if that is what is used. Ingrid

I had added some aquarium salt and just bought the tester. It turns out
0.06% :-). Great!
