SJ WAVE 16 in 1 Drinking Water Testing Kits - 100 Strips (10 Strips Per Pouch) Water Testing Kits for Drinking Water, Home Tap and Well Water Test Kit for pH Hardness Lead Iron Copper Chlorine

I bought this specific test kit because of the ratings and for the variety of things it tests for.I've only tried this with my home well water, but I feel like I can trust it. I haven't compared the results to any other test kit to confirm, but the results did not change when I tested the water a few weeks after the initial test

Works! It's great, I tested water from faucet, refrigerator, and distilled. It all came out as expected. Easy to read, good quantity for value.

Easy to use, lots of test strips. Was interested to test for lead given some local work done by the municipality in that regard, but the test is really too coarse for that, skipping from 0 mg per liter to 20 mg per liter on the readout, but where the recommended threshold for safety is < 3 mg per liter. So really kind of useless for that, apart from giving you a heads up that you may have extraordinarily high/dangerous lead. Bottom line, a decent test kit for massive bad news about lead, but not a test that can rule out that you have unsafe levels.

I got this not only to test our own water which came out pretty good but we travel often and are in places for a couple of weeks at a time and I can test where we are and know if the water is okay to drink or if I need to buy water. Sometimes it's really off and other times I can actually drink the water. This tells you everything you need to know.

Worked well

I personally don't love it. The normal parameters are not clear to me. I tested different waters and the colors are the same so I doubt if that really works.It is very easy to do it though

This is an easy and quick way to see if your water is in safe levels.

I just received this kit two days ago. I noticed that the expiration date is 14Mar26, which was not noted in the product details of the Amazon iOS app. I was curious about it so I checked the manufacturer’s website, and it states that consumers should expect a two-year shelf life for these kits, and only 90 days for the individual strips once each packet has been opened. My kit will expire one year and five months from receipt instead of the two years I should be able to expect. Is that a manufacturer’s problem or Amazon’s problem?And take a look at the two different charts enclosed in the kit. One is part of a leaflet of information, and the other is a “waterproof” sticker. You can see the two charts side by side and again with the wet test strip between them. Most of the color blocks in the test parameters are somewhat clear enough to measure within the chart, and between the two charts, to be able to accurately compare them to the test strip. Some of the color blocks, however, are ambiguous to the point that making an accurate comparison is impossible. I’ve contacted my local water office with questions about our water re to the questionable parameters. One that I know is terribly inaccurate is hardness. Our water is extremely hard, just by using several easy-to-discern metrics like staining, spotting, laundering performance, etc. The test strip, however, shows that our water is at the lowest level re hardness. There are other parameters that look questionable, too.Finally, in order to be able to access “YOUR FREE E-BOOK”, you must install Facebook/Messenger. No, thanks. This is an easy return.
