I drink about a gallon of NYC tap water per day. I'm very water savvy as I keep water sensitive fish and plants. I found this test kit to be a good all in one solution. This is by no means an accurate test to give exact measurements - think of it more as a pass/fail test kit. so if something fails, you may need to test it further with a more accurate test specific kit, or at least know to buy a filter for that issue, but for most people the wider milestones of this kit should be fine. I found the Lead and Pesticide kit instructions to be confusing, but after rereading it a few more times I figured it out. it's good to have an 8oz glass handy to carry out most of these tests accurately. in the end, this kit paid for itself, as I now see my only water concern remain with the city added chlorine, chloride and chloramines(not tested here). this means I can now focus on only those media feature issues when choosing a water filtration system. I was impressed this kit has "good till use date" stamped on every one of the 15 different tests - you rarely see that. This is a good value since sending your water sample out to be more accurately tested by a Lab can be a $100-$300 expense.

Purchased May 2011 and most of the kits expired Jan 2014 so everything was valid (a issue I saw on some of the other kits) but everything was do at home. I saw a bunch of stuff at home depot but it was just take a sample and ship it somewhere. You have to follow the instructions fairly carefully, especially for the lead test. The cloroform test took 24-48 hours to allow it to grow for the indicator. However, please realize that cloroform is not specifically e.coli so even if it indicates something, that could non-harmful ... it's just an indicator that you 'may' have bacteria of some form.

Definitely not a good test. I know that I have slightly higher than normal levels of chlorine in my water because of the significant odor and extreme dryness my wife and I experience if we don't use a filter. This test didn't pick that up at all. It comes with two tests for each substance, the first of which I used as my real water test. Then I purposely hit the second set with purposely diluted versions of what they were meant to test for, just to see if they worked at all. NOPE! I had to dip the chlorine test in a bottle of pool chlorine to get it to react. Spend the extra cash and get a professional to test your water for you.
