Using safe, reliable, one-step dip strips sealed in foil packets, this kit fits easily in a shirt pocket, yet contains enough material to test 2 municipal or well water samples for free and total chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate and nitrite nitrogen, total copper, and total iron. Results are shown as parts per million (ppm). Testing is simple: just dip the end of the test strip in the water sample, swirl for the specified amount of time, and compare the resultant color with the color chart on each foil packet. Instructions and water sample vial are included.
