Arsenic enters groundwater from the erosion of arsenic containing rocks and soil. Groundwater contanimated with arsenic has been found in 49 of the 50 states in the U.S. Recent debate over changing the U.S. limit as well as the problems in India and Bangladesh have made arsenic a hot topic. This arsenic test kit provides a safe, reliable and simplified methid to test for the presence of arsenic in water from 5 ppb to over 800 ppb. Inorganic arsenic compounds in the water sample are converted to arsine (AsH3) gas by a reaction between zinc powder and a mild acid powder. A test strip sensitive to the arsine gas is used to indicate the presence and concentration of arsenic in the water sample. A complete test requires about 30 minutes. Two water samples can be tested simulataneously with the included test kit components.

  • Tested by an independent laboratory to be accurate and reliable
  • Non-hazardous reagents & easy to follow test procedure
  • No Interference from H2S up to 2ppm
  • No Iron or Sulfate interference
  • Test detects both As+3 and As+5

Lead is potentially toxic and can leach into drinking water from plumbing solder and fixtures. The WaterSafe® Lead Check is a rapid immunoassay test similar to a pregnancy test. Each test is calibrated to the U.S. EPA action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). WaterSafe® Lead Check can be used on water from taps, wells, purification systems, as well as environmental water samples from reservoirs, lakes, or streams. The kit comes with everything you need to complete two tests and includes no hazardous materials.

  • Easy test procedure
  • No hazardous chemicals to mix or handle
  • Quick, results, in just ten minutes
  • Easy read results
  • Accurately detects the U.S. EPA limit of 15ppb

Bacteria Check is a presumptive presence - absence (P-A) test for detecting Coliform bacteria in a variety of media including drinking water and pool/spa water. The test provides qualitative information on Coliforms based on the presence or absence of lactose fermentation. Described in standard methods and by the USEPA, the P-A test is widely accepted. Bacteria Check is designed around U.S. EPA standards of testing for one bacteria colony per 100 cc. Features easy test method and requires no incubator. Easily interpreted results within two days.

Simply add water to bottle and shake. Wait 48 hours. An obvious colour change from purple to yellow indicates likely presence of unsafe bacteria.

The Bacteria Growth Check strips have been specially formulated with Brain Heart infusion Media that allows for maximum cultivation of fastidious bacteria found in water samples. Each kit includes 30 tests for easily, safely, and inexpensively testing for active bacteria. Test strip packets are transparent on one side for conveniently reading Bacteria Growth Check test reults.

Simply dip a Bacteria Growth Check test strip into water sample for 2 seconds. Slide test strip into packet so that the test pad is visible through the transparent film. Place the packet in a dark place at room temperature for 48 hours. Compare to colour chart and record the results.
