Intellitec WPT1000 Digital Water Purity Tester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dunk this device into water and a number will appear on the display. The bigger the number, the less pure the water is.That is the use of this product, hence my saying it is not useful for any purpose.
As mentioned by another reviewer, this tester does NOT indicate water safety.
This tester is not a TDS meter. The number displayed has no particular relation to TDS (Total Dissolved Solids, parts per million). Nor is the unit able to be calibrated.As such it is not a TDS meter.To the manufacturer's credit, they don't claim that it is. (But another reviewer does).
My hope was that I could use this unit to determine when to change a RO membrane, even though I knew the reading was not correct TDS--thinking that the ratio between input and output water would be correct, even if the individual measurements weren't.Not so, as the relationship between the reading and TDS is not linear. I have this unit now HM Digital Pocket Size TDS Meter TDS-4 Water Quality Tester and it works great.

Watersafe WS425W Well Water Test Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have well water which we had tested by a local lab a year or two ago.I like to have the water tested regularly, mainly for bacteria, but the local lab charges $100 (if we want lead testing included, it's $200).I ordered this test kit thinking that I'd compare it to the results we got from the lab when we last had our water tested.If anything looked weird or came back abnormal, we'd pay the local lab to test the water.
The tests that I've done so far have given results that are in line with what we were expecting.The local lab gives some directions that I followed when pulling my water samples.They include the following:
1) Use cold water only.
2) For the bacteria test: let your water run for 5 minutes before you take a sample.Don't take a sample from a swivel faucet (commonly found in kitchens).They told me that it's best to take the water sample from the bathroom faucet or tub.
3) For the lead test: Take your sample at a point where the water has been sitting in the pipes for at least 6 hours.They recommended first thing in the morning, before flushing the toilets, etc.
The instructions included with the test kit were fine, but I would have appreciated something a bit more in depth, like those provided by our local lab.Still, this test is a fraction of what the local lab charges, and at least from what I can see, it appears to be fairly accurate.
