Water Test Kit for Drinking Water, Well and Tap Water, Sensitive Lead Test, Bacteria, Hardness, pH, Nitrates

Very comprehensive water testing kit. Easy to use and results are clearly displayed. I had a small issue with part of the testing kit which was completely resolved, very quickly and without any difficulty by the supplier. Regarding the bacteria testing vial, I’d recommend to measure the water into a 5ml spoon or container first and then pour into the testing vial as the vial fills up extremely fast from the tap and could overflow. Both the product and customer support deserve 5 stars! Would recommend.

The test kit arrived very quickly, and in good condition. The instructions for the various tests were clear, and concise. It was very simple to check the results, with little possibility that one could misinterpret anything. The kit included every relevant test for a domestic well water supply. It represented good value for money, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.

I used this to test drinking water in our home. The test's are very quick and you have results in a few mins. There is however 1 test that takes 24 hours that tests for certain bacteria in your water. The tests result in a colour and included in the pack is a chart to compare results against. The chart tells you whether your water is ok to drink or not. It gave us peace of mind, which is a good thing. I'd recommend it if you've any doubt about your water.

DON’T BUY! The Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit was delivered to me on the 10th of June 2025 and had an expiry date of the 6th of June 2025. The expiry was printed backwards as you often find. Expired before it was even delivered. See photos. Waste of money! I would have given less than one star on that basis but I couldn’t. Not happy.

I used this to test the tap water in Budapest. The water quality tested good except in three respects: high ion content (hard water) which I already knew; very high acidity which I would like to re-test in case it is a spurious result (I do not understand why the water would be extremely acidic) and unacceptable level of pesticides, which was a surprise. However after doing some research online I discovered that Budapest has a problem with pesticides leeching into the public water supply (there are scientific articles about this, one I came across produced by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, a very highly regarded institution) and therefore I now find this positive result quite plausible. I thank the test for alerting me to this and now insist on buying bottled water for drinking, coffee, etc (although that comes with other problems - e.g. leeching of pthalates from the plastic).

Without physically testing alongside an actual laboratory it's hard to say does what it says on the box, but it had visible readings on the dip sticks and colour change on the bacteria test so gave me the comfort to use the water in my new house. So far I'm not ill so must of been correct.

Poorly written instructions, the kit is flimsy. I would not recommend. I was expecting a quality product for the price.

How can be sure if the colour chart is all a mess? The PH result on the strip show the colour of the chlorine print chart, and the Hardness strip result got the colour of the pH. Chlorine is the only 1 right. The Lead test is super unreliable . Very expensive for a no accurate results

For 20-some-odd bucks, you can know if your well water is safe. We've wondered for a long time, and now have that peace of mind. We knew ahead of testing that we had good-tasting well water. We knew from the driller's report that we have lots of it. We knew that our pump sits in good water, down 240 feet through bedrock. We also knew that our water is hard. We have the calcium deposits to prove it, and as a result, we run a salt water softener with a microprocessor that is sophisticated enough to know how often it needs to soften the water. And we run an RO (reverse osmosis) filter under the kitchen sink that purifies our drinking (and cooking) water. But just how hard is our water? We didn't know that. We also didn't know that in terms of metal, chemical and bacterial contaminants, if our water was safe. We've been drinking it and our health is good. But still, that nagging question. What's really in the water? Now we know. This little test kit is a brilliant idea. You don't need to take a sample and send it off to a lab, paying whatever fees, and waiting weeks for results. You can do these series of tests at home, in less than an hour (except the bacterial one, which needs two days in a vial at room temp to see if the nasties are going to have a breeding party). It's pretty simple, really. You get a sample of water directly from your well (we have a tap near the wellhead, before the water is softened and filtered). I took a squeaky-clean glass jar and filled it. Most of the tests are in the form of chemically sensitive patches on strips of paper -- like litmus paper -- which are dipped in your well water, and react in the presence of heavy metals and other contaminants. (You could, of course, test your municipal tap-water as well -- it does tell you if there are unsafe levels of chlorine, which are not present in well water). And in fact, the litmus test is included -- one of the oldest ways to discover the Ph level of your water or if it is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. With this kit you can quickly reveal the presence of nitrates and nitrites (usually caused by animal waste). You will test for possibly dangerous heavy metals, including copper, lead, and iron. Iron, by the way, is present in a lot of wells -- observably as ugly orange stains in sinks and toilets. Our water did not display even a trace, which surprised us. The test for dangerous bacteria, as I mentioned, takes two days to "ripen." If the water remains purplish, you're in good shape (ours did). In fact, the good news is, our water was fine on all counts -- except "hardness." We have about 400 ppm (parts per million), which is relatively high. Of course, we already knew it was hard, and compensate for that with the salt softener. Having done all this, the question arises: what would we have done if we had found our well water was high in a contaminants? Move? But knowing is better than ignorance. The test is easy to to, at home, without the need to send away samples and wait for results. The price for peace of mind is cheap, and $10 less than one of our well equipment companies wanted for the exact same kit, same brand. Recommended.

A number of tests, most can be completed within 30mins but the bacteria test takes 48hours for results. The tests from my well water came back OK ! So I can only assume that this test kit, which is thorough, is accurate.

Seemed to have worked well. The only thing I noticed was that the pH strip changed from 6.5 to 8.5 a few minutes after I'd completed the test and set it aside, but both of those numbers were within acceptable limits. Still waiting on bacteria test as of this review, but we get that test done by the municipality and it showed a 0 when we did it a few weeks ago. The only issue we seem to have with our well water is Hardness (120ppm). Other than that everything was either zero or very very low.

Ottimo per togliersi ogni dubbio prima di dismettere le bottiglie in plastica e passare alla rete pubblica

Heel gemakkelijk in gebruik - prijs valt mee
