Are chemicals required when test strip reads good?

Are chemicals like API quick start,stress coat+, etc necessary when your well water reads ok on the test strip? I'm using aquacare pro test strips. It tests for pH, Nitrite, Nitrate, General Hardness, Carbonate hardness, Chlorine.

The reason for using a chemical Tap Water Treatment is usually the presence of Chlorine or Chloramine. If your tap water is well water, and there is no chlorine, you shouldn't need to use treatment.
