16 in 1 Drinking Water Test Kit Strips, 100 cnt. Home Water Quality Test for Tap Water, Pool, Spa. Strips for Water Hardness, Total Chlorine, Mercury, Lead, Aluminum, Fluoride, Iron, pH and More

They were very easy to use and get results. It was also a great value.

The customer service is great.As it is a container of two 100 count packs I wish the shelf life was a bit longer after a pack is opened. Just 90 days.The strips mostly read as they should although I did have a couple of inconsistencies from one strip to the next. I was able to contact customer service through e-mail and their Youtube channel for guidance.

The test strip instructions and match comparison to the test result chart were easy to understand and use. Rather then relying simply on the taste of the drinking water after Reverse Osmosis treatment, wanted to actually know what we were drinking and received an easy to read composition of elements and their strength. We got a clear reading and were happy to learn there were no harmful elements in our drinking water. Next, we will be testing our regular house water for softness/hardness. We are confident this test will be equally simple to perform. We are happy with our choice.

I wouldn't purchase this product and I am returning it because it is not accurate and the colors bleed on each other interfering with the accuracy of the color pads next to them.I ordered this to test my tap water, RO system water, Culligan 5 gallon delivered water, and Nestle Pure Life bottled water.I tested each type of water at least four times. Ironically none of them showed fluoride and I know our city water/tap water has fluoride and other things but the test strip did not pick it up.Regarding the colors bleeding:Originally I tested the strip straight up and down dipped into the cup of water but that really made the colors bleed.So then I tested the strips by turning the cup more on its side to keep the strip straight while in the water and then I removed it and put it on the paper towel so it would continue to lay flat to prevent the colors from bleeding onto each other.The colors bleed on each other with either dipping method, which is super pointless for two of them because one pad is yellow and one pad is green and the green color ends up running into the yellow pad.. but that yellow pad is supposed to turn more greenish to indicate good alkalinity and its hard to tell for sure if it is turning green on its own or if the color beside of it has bled onto it.

This water test kit came as advertised -- perfectly sealed bottle under the lid, and with two sealed packets inside dividing the test strips in half.Easy to use -- my only issue was after testing, where excess water on the strip could cause color runoff from one test pad to another (which may affect accuracy due to color mixing). The instructions do say to "carefully shake off any excess fluid" but maybe I just need more practice? For this same reason, it would have been nice if the color guide were laminated (in case water were to fall on it).

I got the same results, testing tap, filtered and bottled water. I live in the mountains with quality well water, its just hard water, but it shows high concentrations of fluoride. A lab test showed no fluoride. How can I have fluoride in my well water? Also, the stripes are hard to read, because the chart they provide is not the same scale size, so it is very hard to compare because they don't line up side by side. Think I wasted $20, only because I cannot trust results.

Love that these strips are able to let us know all of the different things that might be in our water, as well as the alkalinity levels!! Now I know that not only does our well water taste delicious, it is totally safe, with no chemicals and also is alkaline and not acidic!! Such a nice thing to know!!

I think this set of filter paper strips does what it's supposed to do! You can't compare it in terms of accuracy to lab tests. If you're looking for that kind of accuracy, you should just send your sample to a lab. What this strip does is that it can give you a ballpark indication of what's in your water. Or at the very least, a positive / negative indication of presence / absence of a compound.It did take a couple of tries to come up with a technique. Other reviewers have mentioned that the colors tend to run, and that does happen. But I'm pretty sure the same will happen with other brands of strips with multiple tests on it, and there's more than enough strips to experiment with. I found that if I used a fork to put a small drop of water onto each square while the strip is laying flat on a paper towel, I can get by without having the colors run into one another. Of course you should rinse the fork with the water you're sampling thoroughly before using it, and change forks for different water samples etc.For the waters I tested, the strip showed that the tap, boiled tap, bathroom tap waters all have higher pH, alkalinity and hardness when compared to my filtered water, which makes sense to me. I was actually looking out for lead, but I guess there's no lead present in the waters I tested.
