Safe Home® 14-in-1 Drinking Water Test Kit – DIY Testing for Lead, Bacteria, Hardness, Copper and More – City Tap or Well Water – 27 Mechanisms/Kit Issue a Total of 302 Tests

This kit is so easy to use. Instructions are very clear and simple. The functionality of the kit makes it good to use over time. It has one bacteria test and ours came back negative at our log home in the country where we harvest rainwater and do not have a well. The test strips also prove helpful and we compared accuracy against another test kit and the results were the same. This test allows you to test your water with greater speed than sending off to a lab and at a fraction of the cost it is a great value for the money. The color charts make it very easy to distinguish whether results are positive or negative. I would definitely recommend this test.

The test kit does work as advertised and showed our water was within safe drinking limits. The packaging is a bit confusing in that it sounds like there are many test strips. This is only true for some of the tests. The lead test for example was one and done.

The kit comes with excellent instructions for each of the three types of tests. The test strips are simple and you receive 25 strips to monitor the chemicals in your water over time. The one time tests for lead and bacteria require a little bit of concentration. But they are easy to do if you read the instructions carefully one or two times through before you start. It is a great relief to know that my tap water is safe to drink and use in cooking.

The kit has enough strips to do frequent checks for everything but lead and bacteria, and it provides quick results (except for bacteria, which needs time to incubate). Single tests per kit for lead and bacteria. The color coding chart allows for fast and easy comparison of results. I used it to compare different sources of well water and bottled spring water. I can't really rate accuracy except to say that the results seem reasonable, e.g., well water showed much higher hardness and specific mineral values than spring water, and well water in an area with more agricultural runoff potential showed higher nitrate values than other sources.

We bought this test to see if we have lead in the water and figured the other tests would be helpful to throw in. Well, the lead test only gives you 2 options for information. 1) That you are at or below 4 parts per billion or 2) Over 4 parts. But the CDC says you should have zero lead. Well, that is less that 4 parts per billion but do we have 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4?!?! Waste of money for our cause. The other tests we more conclusive and helpful but this one was a bust. Find another way to test lead.

My neighbor texted us letting us know her water had tested with a few high levels and with a new baby in the house we were a little worried. These came quickly and gave quick results. All of our levels were perfect thank goodness!
