CulliganEssential Water Lab Test Kit, No Size, White

Read the Mail-In Water Sample Test Instructions. If a company can't make up it's mind if the Sample Bottle (there is only one (1) bottle) is filled to the "200ml" mark in line 1 or "all the way to the top" as in line 5 can you trust the test. Culligan how full do you want the bottle? Seems simple enough.After Receiving the Report.Changing to one star. The report is written to sell you water filtering products. Primary and secondary EPA water are listed together so you can not tell them apart and some contaminants don't show the EPA limit, I had to google each of them to complete the report (I guess Culligan doesn't have Google). The status column uses three symbols: blue faucet and cup looks like the only good symbol. Detected below EPA standards is a yellow caution symbol. The only correct symbol faucet and cup with a red line through it means detected above EPA standards. Why show a good result with a Yellow caution symbol, because it makes it seem worse than it is so they can sell you something to make it faucet and cup blue. The best reason not to spend $118 on this is because at the end of the report it says, "This analysis will not determine whether a water is safe for human consumption." What type of analysis does determine if a water sample is safe for my family to drink? That is why I gave you $118 to tell me if it was safe to drink. So if you want to know if it is safe to drink your water don't use this test kit. I'm going to try Home Safe, I'll tell you if it is better.

I was hoping to test the water in my house but was only able to test 1 faucet as the kit only brings 1 test kit. My test was inconclusive as per the manual so I spent the money and still don't really know what's in my water. This is a one and done test. I'm not sure its worth it considering there are companies that will test your water for free.

I have well water and needed help understanding what was wrong with my water. It's just gross - has dirt in it and I think a lot of iron. This kit gives you the basics and then some with easy test strips to follow for hardness, iron, nitrate, pH, nitrite, chlorine and copper. I was very interested in the bacteria test because of my well (results are negative, thank goodness). The lead and pesticide tests were interesting and required just a few drops of water, so make sure you read the directions for all tests. Overall, I felt the test offerings were pretty comprehensive. It appears that I have a ton of iron (I knew it) and hardness in my water. Culligan also has a cool website that explains each containment in the test - very enlightening as testing your water can be a little scary. waterlabtestkit.com - this website is worth checking out. Based on my results, I clearly need help with my water so I found my local Culligan dealer on that website and he's coming out tomorrow. They also include a coupon in the kit so that will save me $50. Pretty simple process!!

This test kit provides a simple, yet effective means to check for copper, chlorine, hardness, iron, nitrates, nitrites, pH, lead & pesticides. Plus, it comes with a reusable TDS meter which showed a rather high level of dissolved solids within our water. Regardless of the type of contamination or imbalance you are dealing with, it will reveal the potential issues most homeowners are facing. The pricing is very reasonable, so it is unlikely for it to surpass your budget. The 2 factors for my purchase were not only ease of use but it is manufactured by the most trusted name in water. I'm to have the local Culligan man come to test my water to make sure my results are consistent but this gives me a level of comfort knowing the condition of the water my family and I are using in our home. The package also included a $50 savings off any products I buy from Culligan so that essentially pays for the test kit!

I bought the test kit because I was unsure what was really in my water. It was really eye opening, and now I know that I need to follow up (I plan to call local Culligan dealer).The kit worked really well. There is a link to a website that was tremendously informative about contaminants and the test kit. It was easy to use, and results were very clear.I highly recommend this test kit, really well put together and user friendly.

The direction booklet DOES NOT say whether to use a cup or running water. And the online Culligan videos were no help. I used two strips and they did not react to the water in any way so they were completely wasted. I an beyond disappointed with the $50 I shelled out for this test kit. Would not recommend this to anyone.

I used this test as sort of a “pre-test” for well water for a home inspection. Glad I did! Instructions were easy to follow, and it showed a high bacteria count. I did subsequently get a professional lab test, wanting to someone with the appropriate credentials confirm my results. The lab also found a high colifoem bacteria count, and the homeowners were immediately notified. Now I can be assured of safe water in my new home.

I've been testing the water in my house periodically using multiple tests bought on Amazon and this is the first time I find a really professional test kit. The package was much better than competing kits and the test strips and charts made the testing really easy.

It was fun to test the tap water and great to see the perfect results. However, it is a hefty price tag for basically a few small strips of paper and accessories. For that price, the kit should include at least 5 tests (for testing at different times throughout the year).

Reçu en 4 jours. Le test pour les parasites nécessite 48 heures d'attente. Les autres tests avec lancettes (labstix) se font en moins d'une minute. Donne une bonne indication de la qualité de votre eau potable chez-vos : taux de zinc, nitrite, nitrate, dureté de l'eau, taux de chlore et Ph (potentiel hydrogène), i.e. le caractère acide versus le basique). Satisfait de mon achat car me donne des chiffres à comparer plus tard en refaisant les mêmes tests.

The kit arrived on time, the instructions were easy to follow and the results were easy to assess. Although $ 50.00 seems like a fair bit for a one time test when we have had the water tested at a lab in the past the price was twice that much and the results took a week, and we had to take the sample to the lab so this seemed much more convenient.

This is a very convenient and helpful package but it’s too expensive for what amounts to little more than the minimal number of test strips they give.

The product works but is way too expensive for a one time use.
