Lead Test Kit
Instructions
The
Watersafe® Lead Test can detect
dissolved lead at levels below the EPA Action
level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). Folks this
is one test you should have.
In the US about 1,000,000 children under the age
of six have a blood lead level exceeding the
level of concern.
Just take 10
minutes to protect your family from the damaging
effects of lead.
Lead Test
Instructions:
1. Open
Lead
packet and take out all
contents. The packet contains a test
vial, a dropper pipette, two
Watersafe® Test Strips, and a
desiccant (to be discarded).
2. Using dropper, place exactly
TWO
dropper-fuls of water sample
into test vial. To pick up the sample,
tightly squeeze the bulb at the end of
the dropper and place the open end into
the water sample. Release the bulb to
pick up the sample, then squeeze again
to expel the sample into the vial.
3. Swirl
vial gently for several seconds. Place
on a flat surface.
4. Place
both test strips into the test vial,
with arrows pointing DOWN.
5. Wait 10
minutes. Do not disturb strips or vial
during this time. Blue lines will appear
on the strips.
6. Take
the strips out of the vial and lay them
on a flat surface with the arrows
pointing to the LEFT.
Interpreting The Results:
Negative:
The LEFT line (next to number 1) is darker than
the RIGHT line (next to number 2)

If you only see the LEFT line (next to number
1), the test is negative.
Positive:
The RIGHT line (next to number 2) is darker than
the LEFT line (next to number 1), or lines are
equally dark (Both LEFT and RIGHT lines are
equally dark)
7. Note:
If no lines appear, or both lines are
very light, the test did not run
properly and the result is not valid.
If a
test strip shows a positive result, your
water sample may contain lead or
pesticides at a toxic level.

pH/Hardness/Chlorine Kit
Instructions
If levels of chlorine,
hardness or pH are too high,
your water could be damaging
your plumbing, your
pocketbook, and your health.
pH -
If the acidity of your water
is too high, corrosion can
leach out lead from pipes
and damage your water supply
system and water heater.
Hardness -
lime scale builds up in
pipes causing corrosion,
reduce the efficiency of hot
water heaters, and require
more water to remove soap.
Chlorine -
can increase cancer risk;
bad taste and smell.
pH/Hardness/Chlorine
Test Instructions:
1.
Carefully open pH/Hardness/Chlorine Test
packet and take out test strip.
2. Immerse the reagent pads into the
water sample and remove immediately.
Hold the strip level for 15 seconds.
3. Match pH, Hardness and Total Chlorine
Pads (in that order) to the color chart
below.
pH (end pad)

Total Chlorine (pad
nearest handle)

LR Total Hardness
(middle pad)
