Worked Fine by W. Clemens  4 Stars
January 27, 2009
We used this to determine if our our water should be professionally tested further. The test revealed some things that concerned us, so we had the water professionally tested. The results from the lab were consistent with our results from this kit, just more precise.

I ordered 4 of these and all came missing the ph/Chlorine/Hardness Test. Amazon gave full refund. by Jeffrey D Haight  1 Stars

I ordered 4 of these and all came missing the ph/Chlorine/Hardness Test. Amazon gave me a full refund.
They must not have been packed correctly at the factory.
You might want to call and ask if that test is now included before ordering.

Missing test strip by FFN 1 Stars

My test kit arrived but was missing the hardness test strip. Since this is why I ordered it, the kit is useless to me.

Don't buy this item! by Cathy119 (Pittsburgh, PA) 1 Stars
December 28, 2008
Two very obvious problems with this product!!
First, I received the product in an unsealed container, and it said it should contain 4 tests (1 bacteria, 1 lead/pesticide, 1 nitrate, 1 ph/hardness). It was missing the nitrate test (I had a duplicate ph/hardness test instead). I called Amazon and they shipped me another one (free - good customer service), only to find it had the same problem (unsealed box and had no nitrate test, duplicate ph/hardness tests). I figured I at least got a 8 tests out of the deal, even though I still haven't received a Nitrate test.
My second issue is that I just noticed that BOTH boxes have an expiration sticker that says "Exp July 2009" over top of a sticker that says "Exp March 2007" and a final actual expiration stamp of "Feb 2006". I have no idea if I can even trust the results.
Don't be fooled - find another product!

OK for basic go/no-go testing by imedbone (San Diego, CA USA)  3 Stars
October 30, 2008
This drinking water test kit is a decent go/no-go for the various tests listed. It won't give you exact numbers for concentrations and what not, but it will tell you if you're above/below federal limits (local limits may likely be lower, but with this test you won't have numbers to compare anyways).
All the tests can be completed in seconds or minutes, except for the e.coli which takes many hours (overnight basically) to get "results".
Price is good.
