Review: I bought three so you can feel confident buying only one - I was concerned about the safety of the water coming from my rainwater tanks, on a farm that relies on it for drinking water. I wanted to be sure that the test results would be accurate so I bought three of these and used two as controls - * One had chlorinated town water and remained yellow (negative) for a full week, * One had bacteria-laden water from the fish tank, and turned green (positive) on the third day. So I feel confident about the results from the third one, which was the actual test (and unfortunately also turned green on the third day). Review: Very Simple To Use AND Incorporates Test For E Coli At GREAT Price! - My 81 year-old mother had some concerns regarding her drinking water, after a sewage issue with the plumbing. During that time she had also contracted a urinary tract infection. Thus, she was very concerned about the quality of her water after the plumbing issue was resolved. We wanted a kit that included a test for E Coli, as this bacteria is often contributed to UTI's. I had scanned through many kits, even on other sites, and found that not many include a test for E Coli. If they do, the kit is usually complex to use, as it tests for many different things, and fairly expensive ($25 and up). I was happy to find this kit for only around $12. It is VERY easy to use. Just add water to the prescribed line, and it will turn from a yellow color to a blue hue if bacteria is present. Basically, you are creating a petri dish for any present bacteria to feed upon. The fast results reassured my mother about the quality of her drinking water, and she has not had any further UTI's. ## Features - THE ORGINAL DIY BACTERIA TEST KIT that is certified accurate by Good Housekeeping Labs, American Red Cross, Underwriter Labs, and Merck Labs.

Ensuring that every batch gives you reliable results. **Q: What if my test changes color after 72 hours?** A: Any shade of blue/green within the 72 hour collection period is considered a positive. Any color change after 72 hours is considered invalid due to the media inside of the vial beginning to break itself down. **Q: Which bacteria species are tested for?** A: Our Test Kit can detect over 50 species of coliform bacteria, including E. coli. To see the complete list of species, reference the product photos. **Q: Is this test kit good for emergency preparedness?** A: Yes! Bacteria is one of the most immediate concerns after a disaster. Our Bacteria kit does not have an expiration date so it can be kept in an emergency kit for natural disasters like hurricanes and flooding. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought three so you can feel confident buying only one *by P***Y on 31 July 2025* I was concerned about the safety of the water coming from my rainwater tanks, on a farm that relies on it for drinking water.

This gave me such a quick peace of mind while waiting for the results of my official county issued water test. My water came back clean on this test, which matched the results I later got from the county! Accurate and easy to use. You may notice some random particles floating around by the 72 hour mark, and this is normal. :) Just pay attention to the color of the water at the end of the testing period. ## Frequently Bought Together - Safe Home® DIY Bacteria in Water Test Kit – Results as Fast as 24 Hours – Detects 50 Different Species of Coliform Bacteria – EPA Lab Certified – Made in The USA – (1 Pack) - Bestprod All-New 20 in 1 Drinking Water Testing Kit 120 Strips, Home Tap and Well Water Test Kit for Hardness, Lead, Iron, Copper, Chlorine, Fluoride - Varify 17in1 Complete Drinking Water Test Kit - 100 Strips + 2 Bacteria Tester Kits - Well, Tap, Home, City Water Testing Strip for Lead, Alkaline, Chlorine, Hardness, Iron, Fluoride, Copper & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/405451022-safe-home-diy-bacteria-in-drinking-water-test-kit-detects](https://www.desertcart.de/products/405451022-safe-home-diy-bacteria-in-drinking-water-test-kit-detects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
