Watts Premier All In One Water Quality Test Kit 173006

Protect your family - knowing your water quality is a serious concern for you and your family. Your water should be safe to drink and acceptable for all other household uses. Though your water may appear safe to drink, there may be water contaminants that you cannot detect through taste and clarity alone. This All in One test kit gives you rapid, comprehensive results for several of the most common contaminants found in drinking water. The USEPA recommends that you test your water at least once a year. Regular testing is extremely important, especially if you are on a private well since water quality is your responsibility. The results you get from this kit will give you a comparison to the USEPA recommended levels, assuring you in the quality of water you drink. Instructions are clear and concise, no harsh chemicals are used, no expensive equipment is required, and the results are easy to read.
