Hard to soft waters to improve water quality?

I have hard water here in San Antonio, Texas. The PH is 8.4 to 8.9, KH & GH run over 300ppm. Our tap water runs in this range since our water before treatment is from highly soluable limstones. I have purchased my second high quality kohaku and fear the water conditions may generate shimi's and may not be conducive for proper raising of kohaku and others (reduce growth and bad on skin development).

So, I would like some suggestions on what I can do to improve water quality & create a softer water - good for the skin - and maintain a constent PH.
Thanks,
Bob
