One kit, fourteen answers, all at your kitchen sink.

This is the whole picture of your drinking water without mailing anything off. One box gives you 14 different readings — lead, coliform bacteria, hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, fluoride, nitrate and more — and you run all of them yourself at home. You get a strip that reads 12 parameters at once, plus a dedicated lead test and a dedicated bacteria test. Works on city or well water. With 302 total tests in the kit, you can keep tabs on your water for a long time off a single purchase.

Why we carry this product

Most people have no idea what's actually in their tap or well water, and the answer is rarely "nothing." This is the kit I point folks to when they want the full rundown without committing to a lab — hardness and pH tell you why your fixtures are crusting up, lead and bacteria tell you what actually matters for your health. Run it, and you stop guessing. If a result comes back ugly, that's when you send it to a lab. — Mike

What's in the box?

  • 25 test strips (12 parameters per strip)
  • 1 DIY lead test
  • 1 DIY bacteria (coliform / E. coli) test
  • Step-by-step trilingual instructions (EN/FR/ES)
  • Color result charts
  • 302 total tests per kit

How to use it?

Simple as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Dip. Dip a test strip in a fresh water sample and read all 12 strip parameters against the color chart in seconds.
  2. Lead. Run the separate 5-minute lead test using the included mechanism.
  3. Bacteria. Fill the bacteria vial, cap, shake, and let it sit — a positive can show as fast as 6 hours (up to 72). No mailing, no lab.

What it tests for?

The 12-in-1 strip covers total chlorine, free chlorine, hardness, alkalinity, pH, nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, carbonate, iron, copper, and calcium. On top of that, the kit adds a dedicated lead test and a dedicated coliform bacteria test (which also flags E. coli) — the two that matter most for health, run as their own separate tests for a clearer read.

Who it's for?

Anyone on a private well who wants a broad monthly check, and city-water households who want to know what's coming out of the tap — old plumbing, a funny taste, hard-water buildup, a new home, or after a flood. Because it's 302 tests, one kit lets you retest over time or check more than one tap.
