User questions & answers

• ✅ A SIMPLE, ACCURATE AND LOW-COST WAY to screen your water for the presence of potentially harmful contaminants.
• ✅ MADE IN THE USA IN LINE WITH OFFICIAL EPA LIMITS - Compare your results with EPA-approved guidelines for drinking water quality. Don't rely on Chinese-made "bulk" strip kits, these are often merely wastewater tests with unapproved and unsafe Lead, Iron, and Copper readings.
• ✅ COMPREHENSIVE TESTING FOR PEACE OF MIND - Not only does this test kit detect even the smallest amounts of Lead and Copper, it also tests for Bacteria and other crucial water quality parameters. Having unbalanced levels of Chlorine, Hardness, pH, Alkalinity, Nitrate or Nitrite can indicate serious issues.
• ✅ NO SCIENCE DEGREE AND NO MAILING REQUIRED - This home water-testing kit is simple enough for anyone to use with zero expertise or equipment. Get your results quickly and easily - whether it’s from a tap, well, municipal, or spring. Just follow the included step-by-step instructions.
• ✅ HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SAVED ON LAB TESTS - Let’s be honest, most of us don’t test every 6 months like recommended. Testing separately for every element at a laboratory would cost stupid amounts of money. This kit makes it possible to find out what’s in your water without breaking the bank.

User questions & answers

Answer:	Needs to be warm for the bacteria
Question:	Does this test for arsenic in the water
Answer:	No. We have found arsenic test strips to be unreliable. There are many interferences with the dip strip method.We don't recommend them and won't offer them to our customers.
Question:	What is the range of the copper test
Answer:	The copper strip range is zero to 5.0 ppm.
Question:	How many test strips are in the kit

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a seperate test for each element
Answer:	Most of the tests require single test strips. pH, hardness and alkalinity are on a single test strip.
Question:	Turned yellow & horrible disgusting smell coming from bottle that was tightly screwed
Answer:	Correction! IF you kept the bottle for LONGER than 48 hours it will eventually turn yellow. IF the bottle remained purple up to 48 hours, the water is not contaminated. A yellow color, along with odor IS possible if you keep the jar LONGER than 48 hours. This is caused by the break-down of the nutrients in the jar. It does not indicate coliform if you keep the bottle longer than 48 hours.
Question:	Does this test for salmonela? Our well may be fouled after a recent flood
Answer:	No. The bacteria test only detects coliform bacteria. Only a lab can test for Salmonella.
Question:	Does this test for lead
Answer:	No. But this test kit does include a lead test. Here is the Amazon link. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5K7LR3/?tag=jameslaytonco-20

COMPREHENSIVE RESULTS FOR 8 WELL WATER PARAMETERS

Test for 8 different contaminants and important water parameters, which are linked to serious illness, plumbing problems (such as pipe corrosion), hardness and limescale buildup, awful tasting, smelling or looking water, and more.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• 1 x Bacteria / Coliform Test

Getting water from a private well shouldn’t mean sacrificing your health. Private water sources aren’t federally-regulated, but can still be easily tested without the help of a professional.

We make every test kit in the USA and calibrate it to official EPA standards, making the results easy to compare and act upon accordingly.

Although testing once per year can be enough for deep wells, it's recommended to test seasonally (or sometimes more) to ensure the safety of your water.

• It's Never Been More Important: With stay-at-home orders, you must ensure that your home resources are safe for the whole family to consume. Even with water filters or water purifiers, you should screen your water monthly to be 100% sure of its safety.
• Complete, Easy-to-Use Test Kit: This test kit contains everything you need to screen your drinking water for harmful contaminants: tests for lead, pesticides, bacteria, nitrates/nitrites, chlorine, and more! Easy instructions – great science project!
• The World's Most Sensitive Lead Test: Our Rapid Lead Test has been validated in an EPA-certified laboratory to detect lead in drinking water at miniscule levels - no other water test kit can claim that.
• 25-Year Trusted Brand: The Watersafe brand has been keeping American families safe for close to 25 years. The product is Made in the USA to EPA standards, and we guarantee satisfaction or your money back!
• Comforting – detects chemicals that are colorless and odorless
• Screen Regularly for Peace of Mind: The EPA recommends testing your water once per year, but that wouldn't have saved the children in Flint, Michigan. We recommend you check your water with Watersafe Test Kits once per month for peace of mind.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the range for testing iron
Answer:	The test range is between 0.0 and 5.0 ppm
Question:	can this test spring water
Answer:	Hi, I think you should be able to test your Spring water with it. It's not as accruate as a lab test. We used it to test tthhe water and make sure it was ok for our livestock.
Question:	What are the indicators/results to suggest the well water is : (1) safe to drink, (2) safe to shower in/wash hands, (3) safe on washing clothes
Answer:	We followed all the instructions and test indicators with ease of instructions. I don't remember what all the test were but it covered most of what was the most important of chemicals and bacteria. All the test came back safe for 0 nitrates, bacteria harmful to drink, etc. I would feel safe to shower/wash hands and to wash clothes in. We only used it to drink and wash our hands as it was put up at a lake. I would recommend that water not be stored and changed daily as we left the test water alone for 4 days further than it asked for and it did grow organisms as the chlorine is not there to kill them. However, drinking it fresh daily we never became sick and the water was perfect!! I am going to send a sample off to the state level for curiosity but I feel safe drinking what we draw from the well. I hope this helps.
Question:	How many times can I repeat the test? Is it one time use only
Answer:	This test kit can only be used once.

The Water Quality Test Even Government and Water Municipalities Recommend You Use. Regularly.

This isn’t just for peace of mind, this is your physical health and well-being. Time and time again, water systems we have come to trust allow polluted water to flow freely into homes causing disease and chronic health problems. Since children and pets are the most sensitive to contaminants, with sometimes devastating results, this can heighten the need for testing. Testing gives you the power of knowledge, and it costs only 24.95.

Environment

Aging water systems, contaminated runoff that introduces human and animal waste, and industrial chemicals are just three of the actors influencing drinking water quality—and the impact is growing greater every day. Chemical spills, toxic substances, people living more densely; the depth of the problem is yet to be fully realized.

Government

These days, most government officials agree that it’s nearly impossible to completely avoid contaminated drinking water. The biggest questions are which chemicals, and to what degree. The fact that both information and management of these systems are controlled by people in politics is a disturbing factor.

Well Water, Too

Rural areas that receive their water from wells contain some of the most contaminated water sources. Microorganisms and toxic chemicals seep into water supplies. People are advised to use a well water testing kit regularly, as new contaminants invade groundwater with little to no oversight or enforcement.

Pittsburgh Downplays the Threat of Lead-Contaminated Drinking Water.

In 2017, the Water and Sewer Authority in Pittsburgh issued a warning for residents to boil their drinking water first, even for brushing teeth and washing dishes. City officials are accused of misleading residents as to the risk.

Flint Michigan’s Drinking Water Harms Children.

In 2018, when 57 of 86 Detroit public schools tested positive for elevated levels of lead, the government confirmed that children could suffer permanent brain damage, which often results in learning disabilities and violent behavior.

Lead-Contamination in Milwaukee’s Drinking Water Since 2015 Continues.

From 2015 to 2017 the children of families living in Milwaukee were testing positive for elevated levels of lead. Even after the health commissioner resigned for failing to notify the community of the risk, the “serious failure” persists.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to test pool water
Answer:	We used it on our tap water to see if our sink/shower water was normal. I would think that the chlorine would affect it if you have a standard pool. Not sure about salt water pools though. Below is a link that may help depending where you livehttps://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/article/622113
Question:	what makes water smell fishy
Answer:	A fishy smell can be caused by naturally occurring organic material in the earth like Barium or Cadmium metals. Chloramine is a compound of chlorine and ammonia used to disinfect public water sources. Unfortunately, it can cause an unwanted fishy odor in your water.
Question:	what is the method of testing for the hydrogen sulfide in the water sample? I read that it was simply to smell your water
Answer:	Laboratory tests for both iron bacteria and hydrogen sulfide can be expensive and are not DIY tests. The smell/observation tests included in the LabTech Plus kit that have the user both smell and observe the water samples are a true screening tests. Most people do not know what is causing the 'rotten egg' smell in their water supply. Although both Iron Bacteria and Hydrogen Sulfide can both cause the undesirable smell, the remediation is very different.
Question:	How many uses does the deluxe kit provide? I wish to check my water unfiltered and filtered. Can I get at least these 2 uses from it
Answer:	The H2O OK Plus Complete Water Analysis Kit contains 2 tests each for Total Chlorine, Total Hardness, Iron, pH Level, Total Alkalinity, Copper, Iron Bacteria, Nitrates, Nitrites, and Hydrogen Sulfide. The kit also contains 1 test each for Lead, Total Coliform Bacteria, and Pesticides.

How safe is your family water supply?

Most people at one time or another question the safety of the water supply that they rely upon every day in their homes. Whether you live in the country with your own well or use city supplied water, unwanted chemicals and other contaminates can be present in your water supply.

Contaminants

Contaminants can be present in home water because of faulty plumbing, chemicals and fertilizers leaching into groundwater supplies, run-off from agricultural processes, drug contamination, flooding and chemical water treatment processes. In areas where hydrofracking is utilized, groundwater contamination is also a major homeowner concern.

Animal Health

Contaminated water can make your pets sick. Many of the human health conditions caused by unwanted water conditions also affect your pets. For example excessive levels of chlorine in your pet’s drinking water may cause increased risk of cancer. Some conditions cause dry skin and even impaired alertness. Test your water to be sure you are not harming your pets.

Nobody puts baby in untested water

If you’re concerned about your pet’s health, what about your family’s? Would you bathe your child in untested water? Isn’t it worth knowing for sure that your water supply is safe and secure for your family’s well-being? Of course it is.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this test for fluoride
Answer:	Your city or county's water authority will tell you whether or not they fluoridate your water. Check their website for their annual water quality report.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the range of the lead test kit
Answer:	The lead test kit is a pass/fail type of test. The U.S EPA has a set a 15 part per billion (ppb) limit for municipal water providers. This test shows if the lead level in the water is above or below the 15 ppb level.
Question:	What level of lead in water is safe
Answer:	The EPA set a threshold level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) for municipal water treatment companies. If 10% of the water samples contain over 15 ppb, the treatment company has to take action to remove the lead. No lead is considered safe to consume. The problem is lead can enter the water system at your home through pipes, solder and fixtures. There are no regulations for controlling lead on your private property.
Question:	What are signs of lead in water
Answer:	There are no visible signs or odors when lead is in the water. The only way to know is to test the water.
Question:	What's the lowest ppm amount that each test can detect
Answer:	Iron = 0.3ppm, Mercury = 0.002 ppm, Copper, 0.05 ppm, Lead is a yes/no test. If the lead is over 15 ppb, it reads positive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this test for Ferric or Ferrous iron
Answer:	Yes, the strip can test for Ferrous iron.
Question:	For the manufacturer - is one single drop from the dropper directly onto the test pad (one for each) a sufficient amount of water to test the levels
Answer:	Yes, one drop for each pad is sufficient. Please rinse the dropper 2-3 times with the testing water before using (just suck the water in and squeeze it out). This is to clean/prepare the dropper. The other thing is, we use special coat on each testing pad to avoid water running from pad to pad, and you can see the water drop is contained within each pad. If you find it is not easy to read the colour with excess water, you can gently shake off the excess water on the strip, AFTER waiting for 30 seconds so the colours have fully developed. If you need further support, send us a message or email, we can send you some demonstration videos or pictures.
Question:	How do I get the ebook? Is there a link

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to mail in something to get the results
Answer:	The kit contains everything needed to perform the tests at home.
Question:	Can this be used to detect bacteria in beverages other than water? Like milk or beer
Answer:	This test method is designed for water. Beer will be acidic and throw off the test. Milk will rot in the jar.
Question:	What is the shelf-life of this kit
Answer:	Three years. The expiration date is on the lid.
Question:	How does this bacteria test work
Answer:	The bottle contains a special nutrient blend. When a water sample if added, the nutrients dissolve, turning the water purple/magenta.

FIND OUT IF YOUR WATER IS COLIFORM BACTERIA-FREE

This test is ideal for screening your well water, for anyone moving into a new house, or if you have any suspicions about your current drinking water. The EPA tests public water sources regularly to make sure no coliform is present, but you won’t know about your private source until you test it.

Instead of calling out the health department, or sending off to a professional lab, this test can be carried out by anyone with ease. No science degree or lab coat required!

CRYSTAL CLEAR RESULTS IN 48 HOURS

Just pour some of your water into the jar, shake for 20 seconds, then leave at room temperature for 48 hours. If there’s bacteria in your water, it will eat up the nutrients in the jar, turning the water a bright yellow color.

Although it’s not possible to test for E. coli separately, this test will still show you if it’s present. A positive test result means your water contains any coliform bacteria, which may include E. coli.

EPA QUALITY ASSURED FROM THE USA

Every test kit sold is produced in the USA to the strictest quality guidelines. These are the same official guidelines used by the EPA to test public water sources all across the country.

This means you get reliable results and safe water standards without having to constantly rely on anyone for help. You can then test regularly without having to worry about racking up any lab fees or annoying health department visits.

Thank you again for asking about Safe Home Water Quality Test Kits.
Question:	So in the instructions, why is the illustration showing a full tube vs. one pipette? Please manufacturer, tell us what is correct
Answer:	Hello OTG, Thank you for your enquiry about our Safe Home DIY Lead in Drinking Water test kit. The instructions of "one pipette" is correct. However your question is understandable, considering the visual illustration on the package does not match the volume in the tube after applying one pipette full of water. We realized this months ago and came out with a second generation of packaging and instructions (now being sold globally, including Amazon). You apparently received one of the first-generation test kits that Amazon is still selling from their inventory. If you have additional questions, please call our toll-free number 888-932-6699 and we will be happy to assist you.
