TESPERT Water Testing Kits for Drinking Water 125 Strips - 16 in 1 Drinking Water Test Kit - Water Test Strips with Hardness, Lead, Iron, Copper

The water in my home has always been a problem for me, although I do believe its perfectly safe to drink it makes scummy tea which I hate. So I had taken to purchase bottled water for tea and coffee making and all was fine, until my wife started complaining of a fishy smell from our kitchen tap. After lots of investigations with drains etc we decided it had to be coming from our mains water supply, so I purchased these drinking water test strips as a bit of a stab in the dark at testing the water. I’ve always been a bit sceptical about testing by unqualified people (ie. me) but I had nothing to loose. The Amazon rating for these test sticks is better than most so I bought them.My first test showed lots of anomalies from what I had expected them to be, so I did 3 tests of my tap water which registered a pH level off the scale, and I compared the results to the bottled water I had been purchasing, which showed no problems whatsoever.I can definitely say that I have a problem with my water supply, but think that its perfectly safe to drink. So I purchased a three stage filter and now it tests really good, and no scummy tea to boot.I have to say, this little kit is so simple and straight forward to use. At first I wondered why I would ever need 125 of them, but having already used 11 of them I guess I’ll be testing my drinking water often now.

Simple to use and good value - bought for a family member.

I mean it's a simple water test, it does what it's supposed to. It is a bit expensive but so where literally all the other ones so I presume it's an industry standard price. It's not difficult to use as its basically as easy as doing a litmus paper test, except instead of telling you the pH, it tells you about any contaminants like lead n such.Either way, it satisfied my paranoia regarding lead pipes in the apartment so hey- 5 stars from me

These seem to work great, I have been able to analyse the water produced from two different filters to find the better option to use with my espresso machine. Although the water still isn't perfect, this way I can keep an eye on things and keep a continuous record too.

Tested diferent sources of water and looks like is functional. Easy for use. In seconds you know exactly what you are drinking

I’m confused so I’m giving it a 3 star. I did a test with my filter water tap water and my normal kitchen tap water and the tests came out the same?Is my London unfiltered tap water pure then and the same as my filtered O2 water filter (which is has won An award from the BBC as the purest water ) or are the tests faulty? It doesn’t make sense?

It does show big indiscretions but I do however think that not all of it is exactly correct after trying a few of them. When trying multiple in the same water the results do come out the same, so there doesn’t seem to be a difference between them luckily and they do work, but I wouldn’t trust them 100% though.

Used to test tap water.
