Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pro-Lab WQ105 Water Quality Do It Yourself Test KitCustomer Review: Works OK to get basic levels Summary: 4 Stars
I got this test in an attempt to see how my whole house water filter was working. The fact that it contained two of each test was great since that's exactly what I needed in order to test before and after the filter.
The tests were easy to use and quickly provided me with basic levels of each potential contaminate. I say 'basic levels' because that's all you should expect from this kit. It isn't going to quantify exactly how much of anything is in your water - but you should know what range you're in. It can be a bit of a pain determining what color matches to the strip in some cases; but it was fairly obvious for most of the tests.
The only tests in this kit were: pH level, alkalinity, chlorine, hardness (this was the hardest to read), iron, copper, nitrate, and nitrite. If you are expecting any other tests you will be disappointed. As other reviewers have mentioned, the 'bonus tests' are a bit of a scam - but I knew that before ordering thanks to their info.
As far as quality goes, the directions in my kit were printed in color - unlike another reviewer who said his were in black and white. One of the copper tests was not attached correctly to the strip and it just bled ink everywhere instead of giving a valid reading.
Overall, I'd recommend this kit if you just want to know basic levels of contaminates without spending a lot of time or money. If you don't expect exact results and realize in advance that the 'bonus tests' are bogus - you will probably be happy with this product.
