16 in 1 Drinking Water Test Kit Strips, 100 cnt. Home Water Quality Test for Tap Water, Pool, Spa. Strips for Water Hardness, Total Chlorine, Mercury, Fluoride, Iron, pH and More

The instructions were a bit vague; but the procedure was simple enough that it was easy to figure out. There are a number of strips that have a bunch of squares on them. You simply dip the strip fully in a tall glass of water for two seconds, shake the excess water off and hold the strip horizontal for ten seconds. On the jar that the strips come in, are colored squares for each chemical tested, 16 different ones. Tip for RVers: There are enough strips that you can test water samples often. This is handy for testing water at campgrounds, national and state parks, etc. Some of these places have water that tastes better or worse.

The container bottle is just exactly the size of the contents; two packs of strips. After taking them out and opening one, it is almost impossible to put the unopened one back in with the opened one. Other than that, these are easy to use and read. I bought it mostly to check on how my water softener is working. Since I have a home water filer for drinking, I can check that as well.

Easy to use and seem to be accurate. We have severe storms here and sometimes advise us to boil our water which is a pain. With the strips, I can check a water sample which would let me know if anything is off.

The product ..( says absolutely nothing about “drinking water” as advertised) and the strips are great for testing the water in a pool, spa, hot tub.

Great product. Easy to use and perfect for our needs.

Very easy to use. No adding, mixing, or waiting. A large quantity; I can use whenever I have the whim. It would be improved by making the test strip have an indicator for which is the top or bottom, and the results key line up. A second test key, or making one that is waterproof, would also be great. I will definitely buy them again.

The 100 strips was just the right number for my 9th grade physical science students - "What's in my Water?" Project.

Very detailed information

First of all, the expiration is December 2021 and instructions say to discard when expired. There are 200 strips, so no way to us them all in 5 months. Second, the strips are longer than the label on the bottle to compare the test strips. It is difficult to line up to check reading without taking too much time while the strips change color as they dry. Third, the pad colors are not consistent, some have streaks of other colors in them so hard to know what the reading is. Don't waste your money on these!

After you open the package of 100 strips, they expire in 90 days. What a waste. Strips need to be individually wrapped.
