Home Water Assessment Complete Kit with Testing Strips and E.Coli Vial

This kit is intended to provide an indication of common issues with water, which may include nuisances like staining or taste problems, as well as potential health risks. Rural water supplies are particularly at risk of contamination, so it is important to ensure that the water is safe to drink. 

If any issues are discovered, it is recommended to contact the place of purchase for guidance and potentially have a water analysis done by an accredited laboratory to address the problem. Ensuring safe drinking water is crucial for maintaining good health.
