 Not exactly what I expected. Apr 09, 2008
By Peter D. Schuller
This test advertised in its description that it included:
pH, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, iron, copper, nitrates, and nitrites. Includes 2 of each test, and bonus tests for hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria. With the exception of the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria, many kits offered this same list of tests. The reason I bought this specific kit was that it did advertise the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteris "bonus tests", and I needed to know levels of those specifically in determining the type of filters and/or oxidation system to purchase. Well, much to my disappointment, the two "bonus tests" were simply instructions to smell your water, and look in your toilet tank. This didn't help me quantify the levels of contaminants, and I now need to go spend more money on tests to determine those levels.

 I thinkit is a rip off Jan 07, 2009
By B.Lead
The only kit I saw that claimed to test for Hydrogen Sulfide and Iron Bacteria. GREAT! However kit has no test strips for these tests. I called the 800 number for Pro-Lab and was told that of course I could test for this, just smell my water and look in my tank. The reason for ordering the test kit was to quantify and confirm what my nose and eyes told me. That is like selling me a test to check for warm water and telling me the test is to put my hand under the water. They see nothing wrong with selling you a test kit, and the test is to smell your water. Is it just me????

 Water Quality Test Kit May 13, 2007
By C. Wolfle
This is a very convenient and economical way to test water. Living in a home with well and septic, I knew we had a water hardness problem but I didn't know to what extent. Not only did this test confirm that, but it gave me the range as well as allowing me to test for many other minerals as well. In addition, there are 2 sets of test strips per test for future use. The product is inexpensive and very easy to use. I would highly recommend using this kit.

Look elswhere if you need to test your water. Jul 29, 2009
By S. Fortner
I was extremely dissapointed with this purchase, and wish I would have read the reviews on here before buying.
1) The instructions were printed in black and white. This is not good when you need to compare the color on the test strips to the colors on the charts in the instructions. If you go to the pro-lab website, you can download the instructions in color, but it's hard to compare the strips to colors on a computer monitor.
2) The only reason I bought this kit was to see how much iron was in my water to determine what filtration system I need to buy. Well, according to this test, I have no iron at all. I know there is iron in my water; I can smell it, I can taste it, I can see it turning my filters and toilet orange, but according to this test...none.
3) This test said my PH was 2.0. Really? 2.0? Pretty sure I would be dead by now if this were true. I checked this using a test kit I had for my aquarium and it came out 6.5.
4) There is no test for iron bacteria or hydrogen sulfide in the package. The instructions just tell you to smell your water. To give them a little credit here, I think the best way to test for hydrogen sulfide is to smell your water, but claiming there is a test in the package is very misleading.

Misleading list of tests! Beware! Oct 27, 2010
By Debbie Lee Wesselmann
I bought this kit because it says right on the label that it tests for iron bacteria. Since I wanted to test my well water for that in particular, I bought this kit, only to discover after opening it that the "test" is not a test at all; the instructions tell you to look at the color of the water and any rings in the toilet tank. Duh! The same kind of "test" applies to the hydrogen sulfide it is supposed to identify: smell your water. This company should be forced to take these claims off their label since they use them to distinguish their product from their competitors'. I returned this kit faster than you can say, "False advertising!"
I've used Pro-Lab strips before, and they are fairly easy to use. The kit contains two strips for each test to allow you to recheck your results in a month or so. The problem is that most people who have well water want to test for bacteria (both iron and not) and pesticides, neither of which gets readings from this kit. It does test nitrites and nitrates, which come from fertilizer and animal waste run-off, but testing for those is not nearly as "complete" a water test as the manufacturer wants you to believe.
I recommend that consumers look to other brands.
