Science Project Kit 10-pack Water Tests Review

Science Project Kit 10-pack Water Tests
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product for my son who needed water testing equipment for his science project.Unfortunately, several of the test strips did not work and I was glad that I had ordered more tests than he required.As well, interpretation of the results requires visual observation to match the color of the strips to a chart.We called the help line number shown in the package for assistance with these two issues and did not get a call back.With shipping and duty to Canada adding another $100 to the cost of the 20 water tests we ordered, I told him that he'd better design a different type of project next year.

Digital Water Purity Tester (Blue/White) (5.5"L) Review

Digital Water Purity Tester
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I brought this device several days ago. Tested out my tap water which was rated between 125-130. Yes, Anchorage, Alaska do have good water. However, visiting a friend in the valley, his water without the filter was around 550s and with the filter was 230s. Obviously he was using well water that needed filtering. I also tested this device around other part of the greater Anchorage area and found various different readings.

Overall, upon my personal testing of this device, I found it to work pretty well. Its pretty easy to used, let the water run for ten seconds and filled with a small glass and test. Testing only take a few seconds. Its appears to be accurate and reliable. I write "appears" since I have nothing else to compared it with. It might be fun to try out this device when I go to Europe this summer. The small size and super light weight, it seem to be tailor made for travellers.

As a water tester, it a pretty good price and value. Of course, it does not test for virus, bacteria or organic chemicals. Nor does it tell you specifically what kind of inorganic chemicals that may be in the water. I guess for the price you pay, that might be asking too much. But its a good warning device, especially for travellers. If the water in your motel/hotel room looks bit weird and taste funny, this device will confirm your belief.

The instruction sheet proves to be well written, it comes with batteries already installed, and there's a read out table on the side of the device as well. The battery cover is rather hard to take out but overall, a pretty good product. I can recommended to anyone until I know better.

This test was easy to use and gives a quick answer to if you have Arsenic in your water. We have well water so it is important to check from time to time.

It is a really good product and I would also use other tests they sell to check for other contaminants in my water supply.

What you get is 2 glass vials and a return envelope. You are
asked to add your credit card number for the processing which will be $30 more
or $45 if you want faster service. This is the first Amazon purchase
that I have made where the price was just a down payment. The service
may be good - I dont know- But I do know I feel scammed by the price deception.

Pro-Lab Incorporated WQ105 Complete Household Water Quality Test Kit Review

Pro-Lab Incorporated WQ105 Complete Household Water Quality Test Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This test advertised in its description that it included:
pH, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, iron, copper, nitrates, and nitrites. Includes 2 of each test, and bonus tests for hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria. With the exception of the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria, many kits offered this same list of tests. The reason I bought this specific kit was that it did advertise the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteris "bonus tests", and I needed to know levels of those specifically in determining the type of filters and/or oxidation system to purchase. Well, much to my disappointment, the two "bonus tests" were simply instructions to smell your water, and look in your toilet tank. This didn't help me quantify the levels of contaminants, and I now need to go spend more money on tests to determine those levels.

WaterSafe Water Test Kit for Lead Review

WaterSafe Water Test Kit for Lead
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've never personally tested water from the tap from any of the places where I lived, but there's a first for everything so I purchased this Lead test kit to test the tap water at my current place of residence. This kit comes with a vial for the water sample, a pipette used to obtain the correct amount of water to be tested and finally the test strip which will show the results of the test. Everything comes in a sealed aluminized pouch.

This kit is only good for one test so if you mess up, the results will be invalid. The most important step when doing the water test is to only fill the vial with ONE pipette full of the water sample. I was tempted to fill the vial the easy way by putting it directly into the water stream from the faucet, fortunately for whatever reason I decided to reread the instructions which states to only use one pipette full of the water sample being tested. The test takes about 4 minutes for the results to fully appear. You basically put the test strip into the vial containing the water sample and just let it sit there undisturbed for 4 minutes. In my test the results were very clear and was negative.

Intellitec WPT1000 Digital Water Purity Tester Review

Intellitec WPT1000 Digital Water Purity Tester
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Dunk this device into water and a number will appear on the display. The bigger the number, the less pure the water is.That is the use of this product, hence my saying it is not useful for any purpose.

As mentioned by another reviewer, this tester does NOT indicate water safety.

This tester is not a TDS meter. The number displayed has no particular relation to TDS (Total Dissolved Solids, parts per million). Nor is the unit able to be calibrated.As such it is not a TDS meter.To the manufacturer's credit, they don't claim that it is. (But another reviewer does).

My hope was that I could use this unit to determine when to change a RO membrane, even though I knew the reading was not correct TDS--thinking that the ratio between input and output water would be correct, even if the individual measurements weren't.Not so, as the relationship between the reading and TDS is not linear. I have this unit now HM Digital Pocket Size TDS Meter TDS-4 Water Quality Tester and it works great.

I drink about a gallon of NYC tap water per day.I'm very water savvy as I keep water sensitive fish and plants.I found this test kit to be a good all in one solution.This is by no means an accurate test to give exact measurements - think of it more as a pass/fail test kit. so if something fails, you may need to test it further with a more accurate test specific kit, or at least know to buy a filter for that issue, but for most people the wider milestones of this kit should be fine.I found the Lead and Pesticide kit instructions to be confusing, but after rereading it a few more times I figured it out.it's good to have an 8oz glass handy to carry out most of these tests accurately.in the end, this kit paid for itself, as I now see my only water concern remain with the city added chlorine, chloride and chloramines(not tested here).this means I can now focus on only those media feature issues when choosing a water filtration system.I was impressed this kit has "good till use date" stamped on every one of the 15 different tests - you rarely see that.This is a good value since sending your water sample out to be more accurately tested by a Lab can be a $100-$300 expense.

Watersafe WS425W Well Water Test Kit Review

Watersafe WS425W Well Water Test Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have well water which we had tested by a local lab a year or two ago.I like to have the water tested regularly, mainly for bacteria, but the local lab charges $100 (if we want lead testing included, it's $200).I ordered this test kit thinking that I'd compare it to the results we got from the lab when we last had our water tested.If anything looked weird or came back abnormal, we'd pay the local lab to test the water.

The tests that I've done so far have given results that are in line with what we were expecting.The local lab gives some directions that I followed when pulling my water samples.They include the following:

1) Use cold water only.
2) For the bacteria test: let your water run for 5 minutes before you take a sample.Don't take a sample from a swivel faucet (commonly found in kitchens).They told me that it's best to take the water sample from the bathroom faucet or tub.
3) For the lead test: Take your sample at a point where the water has been sitting in the pipes for at least 6 hours.They recommended first thing in the morning, before flushing the toilets, etc.

The instructions included with the test kit were fine, but I would have appreciated something a bit more in depth, like those provided by our local lab.Still, this test is a fraction of what the local lab charges, and at least from what I can see, it appears to be fairly accurate.
