Water Testing Kits for Drinking Water: 125 Strips 16 in 1 Well and Drinking Water Test Kit, TESPERT Water Test Strips with Hardness, pH, Lead, Iron, Copper, Chlorine, and More

I live in an area where the water is very hard, and I’ve always had concerns about its quality. This water quality tester helped me a lot — it’s easy to use, accurate, and gave me a clear idea of what I’m actually consuming. Thanks to it, I now know when I need to filter my water and how it affects my skin and health. Highly recommended!

Kit works well, easy to use, value for money.

The strips were pretty easy to understand after trying them a few times. My only issue was that the water would sometimes run across the strip if I didn't set it down fast enough which caused a few of the colors to get mixed, so I would have to do it again.But all in all, they work great and they helped me get cleaner tap water by understanding what kind of filters I needed.

The instructions are simple and easy to follow, even for someone with no prior experience. It analyzed a wide range of contaminants, including lead, chlorine, hardness, and more. The results were clear and easy to read, and I appreciated how quickly I got them. I think it's something we should have at home to regularly check the quality of the water we're using. It's a good price for the number of test strips it comes with.

Simple and easy to use. The kit helped me measure the required information meeded to install my WaterBoss water softener to treat my well water.

Easy to use. Just dip in water, and in less than a minute, compare the strip to the colors on the bottle to get your results. However, I'm testing for lead, and this kit is not accurate enough to align with EPA recommendations. However, if you get any reading higher than the lowest level on this test strip, then you know your water is bad (for lead). So I think this can be useful for a positive test, but may not be sensitive enough for a negative test.In the United States, the EPA set the maximum allowable concentration of lead in public drinking water at 15 mcg/L (micrograms per liter).15 mcg/L is equal to 0.015 ppm, or 15 ppbEven for kits that test down to 4 ppb, that's still not sensitive enough to meet EPA guidelines for children.The EPA has set a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of zero for lead in drinking water, recognizing that no level of lead exposure is safe for children.

A must for anyone who care about their or there families health. I lost my best fiend and next door neighbor in December to cancer. In January lost my dog to cancer. What did they have in common? Air and water. I got 1 of these and I now have a main line charcoal filter and another on my kitchen sink. I also got a radon tester from that I have 2 air purifiers in house. Get the water tester, it tests for about 16 things. Almost all cause cancer and other things. Look up things they test for and what they do. My water checks out perfect, also check what is the worst water U can drink. That will blow U away. I dropped my radon from 980-800 to 600-650 with first filter, with 2nd 450-540. They want it to be around 400. U can look all this up. I tested my neighbors water who had no filters. It was just under feds shutting it down, but It passed. So research.

SO you have a bunch of water quality tests all bundled into a single test strip. Great. And it comes in a bottle with 125 strips so you can do 125 tests over the next three months at a single water source, or test 125 different water sources once each, very nice. BUT...The way it works is: dip the stick into the water for 2 seconds, then wait 15 seconds, then compare the color on the stick to the colors on the chart on the side of the bottle. This has a number of problems, which I'll list for you here:1. The chart is on the outside of the bottle. Over time, the colors fade. So if you keep the bottle more than 6 months, the scale is no longer correct. Throw it out and get a new bottle. Or try to find a new color scale chart somewhere for this exact test strip.2. The increments (measurement tick marks) on the scale chart are too far apart, it's not very precise and you'll end up GUESSING at the exact result, like "oh we have lead in our water, somewhere between 20 and 40 ppm but I'm not sure if it's closer to 20 or 40" ... so don't use it if you need an EXACT result.3. The maximum and minimum they use for the color scales are stupid, they DO NOT correspond in ANY way to the "safe limits" for drinking water. They're completely arbitrary. For instance, lead has a "safe limit" of 0.015 ppm. But the color scale STARTS at 20 ppm. When any result over 0.01 would be a cause for concern. So the lead test is basically useless because it ALWAYS makes you think the result is "I have lead in my water!!" since it won't show you the range between 0 to 19 ppm. Similarly, if your pH is above 9 you'll never know it because the scale only goes up to 9. "Safe level" is 8.5 but physically it is possible to have pH up to 14. Anything over 12 will basically melt your skin off if you touch it. In Texas the city of College Station has drinking water with a pH of 10.5. Because it costs too much money to fix it. So some of the tests are kind of useless because the scale limits are so bad.4. Given how they arranged the limits of the tests and all that, it is clear to me (as a water quality professional) that this test kit is intended for INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER or INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WATER testing. NOT for drinking water testing. DO NOT buy it if you want to test the drinking water or shower water at your house. DO buy it if you want to test the water going into your company's electroplating bath, or coming off of your company's sewer treatment outflow.If you really want to test the water at your home, call your town or city office and ask to speak with their water utility department. They'll have some better suggestions for how to cheaply, quickly, and easily test your home drinking water instead of using this, which is just NOT designed for home drinking water testing.
