Review on 🚰 Ensure Your Family's Safety: DIY Lead in Drinking Water Test Kit for City or Well Water - Quick 10 Minute Test - Single Pack by Joshua Vogel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Conflicting instructions, no results

I bought this kit on Wirecutter's recommendation and am disappointed in both this product and Wirecutter for showing it. The written instructions for the kit clearly state that only 1 pipette of water should be poured into the vial. The supplied pipette only holds a few drops of water. A full water bottle can be clearly seen in several images in the instructions, which requires repeated use of the pipette. So do you follow written instructions or illustrated instructions? They are contradictory. I guessed randomly and followed the illustrated guide but got no results. Nothing showed on the test strip. Was the tape broken? Or was the problem in the instructions? Even if I got the result I couldn't trust him because the instructions were suspicious. An unreliable test is worse than no test at all.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • some difficulties
