Well Water Test Kit

Well Water Test Kit was specifically designed to help you test quickly and easily for the 10 most common contaminants found in private wells: iron, copper, lead, bacteria, pesticides, nitrates, nitrites, chlorine, pH and hardness. Can be used on any treated or untreated drinking water source.

Test Kit allows you to:

- Test for copper, iron and lead
- Detect dangerous levels of Nitrates/Nitrites
- Test for potentially harmful bacteria
- Reveal the presence of toxins from pesticides or fertilizers
- Learn your water's pH balance , learn if it's acidic , neutral or alkaline. 
- Determine your water “hardness” levels, if your water is soft, medium or hard.
- Identify unsafe levels of chlorine in your water
- Compare all your results with EPA-recommended levels
- Feel confident in the water you drink and use every day!

Bacteria- strains of E.coli can cause serious illness or even death.

Lead- causes developmental harm, neurological and kidney damage.

Copper - causes liver and kidney damage in infants.

Iron - causes staining in laundry, dishes, bathtubs and sinks. Clogs pipes and gives off offensive odor.

Pesticides - from agricultural uses, linked to increased cancer rates.

Nitrates- from fertilizers and animal waste, causes developmental problems.

Chlorine - can increase cancer risk, gives water bad taste and smell.

pH level- low pH or acidic water can cause heavy metals such as lead leaching and can cause damage to plumbing.

Water Hardness - causes lime scale and higher detergent use.
