Welcome to Pond Boss. I think due diligence would be going out to take water samples to test with a swimming pool test kit. API has a reasonable one for about $40. Lots of stuff to test but Alkalinity, PH, and Hardness are the among the top for basic tests. Couple the test kit with a fishing pole to see what species are in the pond. Very helpful here if you take a scale and ability to measure fish lengths for each fish. Should be able to give you info on both of these with any reports you come back with.

Again, welcome to pond boss!
