  • Great product with even better management support
I have used this product to test the well water for our rural house several times. It is easy to use, economical and accurate. I felt as though one of the test strips was missing in a recent case but the company stood by their product 100%. Management contacted me several times with apologies; replacement of the kit I purchased and sent another kit free of charge for a future test. Given this test kit is my preferred product the fact that management stands by it so impressively I will never use any other product. ... show more

  • Easy To Use Kit, Peace of Mind At Home
For 20-some-odd bucks, you can know if your well water is safe. We've wondered for a long time, and now have that peace of mind. We knew ahead of testing that we had good-tasting well water. We knew from the driller's report that we have lots of it. We knew that our pump sits in good water, down 240 feet through bedrock. We also knew that our water is hard. We have the calcium deposits to prove it, and as a result, we run a salt water softener with a microprocessor that is sophisticated enough to know how often it needs to soften the water. And we run an RO (reverse osmosis) filter under the kitchen sink that purifies our drinking (and cooking) water. But just how hard is our water? We didn't know that. We also didn't know that in terms of metal, chemical and bacterial contaminants, if our water was safe. We've been drinking it and our health is good. But still, that nagging question. What's really in the water? Now we know. This little test kit is a brilliant idea. You don't need to take a sample and send it off to a lab, paying whatever fees, and waiting weeks for results. You can do these series of tests at home, in less than an hour (except the bacterial one, which needs two days in a vial at room temp to see if the nasties are going to have a breeding party). It's pretty simple, really. You get a sample of water directly from your well (we have a tap near the wellhead, before the water is softened and filtered). I took a squeaky-clean glass jar and filled it. Most of the tests are in the form of chemically sensitive patches on strips of paper -- like litmus paper -- which are dipped in your well water, and react in the presence of heavy metals and other contaminants. (You could, of course, test your municipal tap-water as well -- it does tell you if there are unsafe levels of chlorine, which are not present in well water). And in fact, the litmus test is included -- one of the oldest ways to discover the Ph level of your water or if it is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. With this kit you can quickly reveal the presence of nitrates and nitrites (usually caused by animal waste). You will test for possibly dangerous heavy metals, including copper, lead, and iron. Iron, by the way, is present in a lot of wells -- observably as ugly orange stains in sinks and toilets. Our water did not display even a trace, which surprised us. The test for dangerous bacteria, as I mentioned, takes two days to "ripen." If the water remains purplish, you're in good shape (ours did). In fact, the good news is, our water was fine on all counts -- except "hardness." We have about 400 ppm (parts per million), which is relatively high. Of course, we already knew it was hard, and compensate for that with the salt softener. Having done all this, the question arises: what would we have done if we had found our well water was high in a contaminants? Move? But knowing is better than ignorance. The test is easy to to, at home, without the need to send away samples and wait for results. The price for peace of mind is cheap, and $10 less than one of our well equipment companies wanted for the exact same kit, same brand. Recommended. ... show more

  • I was pleasantly surprised
The Watersafe testing kit was very easy to follow and it provided accurate results. I was happy to learn that my tap water is safe from the major issues with lead, chlorine, copper, etc. I have hard water but I can live with that!

  • Disappointed the pesticide test removed
Used for many years to test quality of my well water. Newest version eliminated pesticide contamination test.

  • Easy to use. Appears accurate
I was most interested in the tap output from my conditioned well water. As expected, hard water with the highest pH. Pleasantly surprised with no lead or nitrite/nitrates, since we live on a working farm. Worth the money for peace of mind and a baseline.

  • Very easy to use
I know this is a one off test kit, but very simple to use. A child capable of reading and following instructions could carry out the tests. There’s a number of test kits that test for more things, multiple times, but this one covered 9of the 7 major issues I was concerned with. My well water is not chlorinated so that wasn’t an issue, and I have known for some time that it’s alkaline 8, and has a high TDS value. None of the latter 2 are dangerous. It’s just hard to rinse soap off of anything. I do recommend this kit as an easy and mostly quick way to have peace of mind about your water quality. The bacteria test takes two days, but everything else just a few minutes. ... show more

  • Simple test for my well water...not the most extensive, but good enough
OK, if you have a well think of it as a underground water system like a river and know your water quality is constantly changing from one season to the next. So, consider testing at least 2x a year. This test will check for the basics and keep it affordable. I have a deep well, a water softener, a whole house filter(by the water tank) which filters out a lot of black metallic crap, a reverse osmoses system for drinking water and a basic fridge filter that comes with the refrigerator. Even with all of this, I still had concerns with my drinking water. Maybe fear that the RO system is getting old (14years or more), fear of Bacteria from septic's leaching into my well or the fact that my water just didn't taste as good as it has through the years. Not smelly or terrible tasting...just not as good as before. Biggest concern was high concentrations of metals and bacteria which in long exposure could give you a long list of health issues and good luck having a doctor figure out what's causing any of the symptoms. This kit tested for bacteria, lead, pesticides, nitrate, pH, hardness, chlorine(um...why have chlorine test for a well test kit? maybe treated wells?) copper and Iron. All tested negative which is a good feeling...for now. Interestingly enough is, my water is too soft and has a low pH which can cause leaching of copper and lead from the pipes! Also, the "different flavor" in my drinking water is the fact it has a low pH which is acidic. Have to get my water softener serviced. I'm very glad the pesticide tested negative too...there's 250 acres of old farm land across from my well, used for hay now but who knows what they grew and sprayed there years ago. Overall, this is a basic test that will raise some flags if there is an issue and you can spend the big bucks for extensive testing then. Remember that the water quality is always changing in your well and the dude charging you the big bucks will point that fact out as he's doing his test :) ... show more

  • Limited results
Few months ago I got the test kit because it tested for atrazine from Walmart but it was expired. Now I got another I thought was the same but unfortunately when I got it I found that it doesn't test for atrazine. I know my water is safe for the other things. It was too much trouble to return.
