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!

Easy to use, easy to read. I can test and retest multiple times. I love how functional this is and the quality of the strips.

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.

These strips have ALL the info I need to keep my saltwater pool balanced and operating beautifully. I also use them to keep tabs on the city water in my house so I can keep my house water softener set optimally. AND...I use them at my vacation home where I am on well water. They have lasted forever - I keep the strips dry and tightly sealed in the tube they come in. They are conveniently sealed in a couple separate packs within the tube, so you only need to open one pack until you use it up (the other pack stays factory sealed. I have found these to be VERY accurate in all the applications I mentioned. Very good company and product.

A good kit for testing all kinds of levels. Was very close to professional testing results, so I’m confidently using this from here on out at this location.

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.

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.

DO NOT BUY IF TESTING FOR LEADMy city recently found lead in service lines. I bought these assuming the search term “lead test strips” would be sufficient. I was wrong. The lowest lead level this detects is 600 times the EPA’s action level/dangerous levels of lead. My body getting sick from lead poisoning would tell me more about how much lead is in the water than these strips.Amazon is evil for allowing this to come up if one is searching for strips to test the amount of lead in their water. Because I’m not a plumber or don’t work for the water company or the EPA, I didn’t know this.
