16 PARAMETER WATER TEST STRIP
TEST USE
This water test strip can be used to test the content of certain harmful pollutants commonly found in drinking water (tap water, groundwater, well water), to keep track of the water quality of your family’s drinking water, to protect your family’s health, and to make health a habit. At the same time, it can also be used to test swimming pools, spas. aquariums and so on.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- Test for 60 seconds
When using the 16 parameter water test strip, your results are complete (ready to compare) after dipping the test strip and shaking off any excess water. The test strip can be dipped directly into the water source being tested. Alternatively, you can fill the clear test tube and proceed to dip the strip. Upon completion, make sure to compare your results immediately. To do this, place the handle of the test strip at the bottom of the color chart facing upwards. The test strip is no longer valid outside of a 60 second testing period. Discard the test strip after 60 seconds as any further color change will be meaningless. - Prevent altered results
Heres what you can do to prevent decreased shelf life of the strip and altered results.
KEEP WET FINGERS OUT OF THE BOTTLE
DO NOT TOUCH OR CONTAMINATE THE TEST AREA OF THE STRIP
CLOSE THE CAP TIGHTLY AFTER REMOVING THE STRIP
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT
STORE INA COOL, ORY PLACE OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT - Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations
The EPA sets legal limits on over 90 contaminants in drinking water.
There are two categories, primary and secondary. Primary contaminants are substances that can be toxic in small amounts.
On the other hand, secondary contaminants are less toxic species and would include cosmetic issues (color, taste, and odor) of drinking water. These strips test for the most commonly found primary contaminants (lead, fluoride, copper, mercury, chlorine, nitrite, nitrate), as the most commonly found secondary contaminants (Sulfate, Zinc, Manganese, Iron, and pH.)
BACTERIA TEST FOR WATER
TEST USE
This bacterial test kit can be used to detect total coliforms in drinking water (tap water, ground water, well water). It can protect your family’s health by knowing the water quality of your family’s drinking water at any time.
Meanwhile, it can also be used in swimming pools, hot springs, lakes and so on.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- Test for 48 hours
When you run the bacteria test at room temperature 68- 90*F(20-32*C), the test is complete in 48 hours. The sample in the pouch will appear yellow spot(positive). Discard the test pouch after 48 hours as any further color change is meaningless. - Prevent Contamination
Here’s what you can do to prevent accidental contamination of the test jar and water sample.
DO NOT OPEN THE BAG UNTIL THE TEST IS BEING PERFORMED
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE
DO NOT TOUCH THE INDISE OF THE BAG
DO NOT TOUCH(CONTAMINATE)THE FAUCET OUTLET
DO NOT OPEN THE BAG DURING THE 48-HOUR TEST PERIOD - Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform, and E.coll
Total coliform is a large collection of different kinds of bacteria.
Fecal coliform are types of total coliform that exist in feces. E. coli is a subgroup of fecal coliform. Most bacteria tests (such as this one) are designed to test for total coliform bacteria. If the test is positive, it is likely that fecal coliform or E. coli are present in the water source.
In this case, the sample should be further analyzed at a lab. If the coliform test result is negative, that means there is no coliform present, E. coli or otherwise.
COMMON QUESTIONS (16 PARAMETERS TEST)
How do the test strips color match the chart for best results?
Be sure to place the strip handle side up on the bottom of the swatch and compare the results for each element one by one.
Do not hold the strip in the opposite direction.
The color on the test pad does not match the color chart, why is this?
Due to the complexity and diversity of water quality issues around the globe, the results of the test may be between 2 color blocks, please estimate the results; we also recommend performing at least two 16-in-1 tests at a time and averaging the results. This will reduce the likelihood of user error.
Are Coliform Bacteria Harmful?
Coliform bacteria are present in the environment and feces of all warm-blooded animals and humans. Coliform bacteria are unlikely to cause illness. However, their presence in drinking water indicates that disease-causing organisms (pathogens) could be in the water system.
What should be done if the test is positive?
When coliforms are detected, please make sure that you have performed the test correctly and have not accidentally contaminated the test bag. If you feel that the bag may have been contaminated, we recommend that you re-perform the test. If the results show bacterial confirmation, further testing for fecal coliform or E. coli is required. It is recommended that the water be boiled until sterilization and laboratory testing confirms that the contamination has been eliminated.
