Using Softened Well-water in Tank

When I first got my Betta fish my tap water smelled funny, I didnt trust my little pH test strips, so I use store-bought Spring water to fill the 3.5 gal tank. My house is an a well, but the water runs through a water softener. I've been wanting to try tap water lately to save on time and control the water temperature, but am still afraid I might miss something.

Just to be sure I thought I'd post my test results (of my tap water) and ask what you guys think before I do my next 30% water exchange. PS the tank finally seems close to being cycled.

High Range pH 7.8
pH 7.6
KH 80
GH 30
