Review on πŸ’§ Watersafe WS425W: Comprehensive Well Water Testing for a Safer, Purer Supply by Flavio Iyer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

easy to use works well with pH test strips

I live in an apartment building and lately our water has often turned red-brown and leaves residue. I was worried about safety as I felt the contaminated water would irritate my skin. Since the caretaker doesn't seem to want to do anything, I ordered this kit to get an idea. Most tests take no more than 10 minutes and are very easy to do. Although the bacteria test takes 48 hours. I sampled my shower water in a small bowl. You don't need much. The results were "convincing" and I noticed that the iron and copper levels were elevated, which was about what I expected given the color of the water. If in doubt as to whether your water is safe to drink I would always have it professionally tested but I think it was a good first step.

Pros
  • Check regularly for peace of mind: The EPA recommends testing your water once a year, but that wouldn't save the kids in Flint, Michigan. We recommend testing your water once a month with Watersafe test kits for peace of mind.
Cons
  • boring packaging
