Could you be drinking contaminated water? Despite modern facilities, water remains an all-too-common source of both acute and chronic illness - simply because it is by far the most ingested substance. Though most depend on their local water utility to provide a safe water supply, testing and monitoring water contaminants is not as routine as most people think. The vast majority of the nearly 100,000 water systems in the USA never or rarely test for most listed water contaminants because it is wildly cost prohibitive. Complete implementation of the testing requirements of the Safe Water Drinking Act would cost most small towns more than all police, fire and municipal services. More than 11 million US households whose water supply comes from a private source must pay for their own tests or risk contaminant exposures. Until now accurate testing for contaminants was only available through expensive, analytical laboratories using complicated and time-consuming methods. But now there is WaterSafe®.
All-In-One Drinking Water Test Kit
Discover The WaterSafe All-In-One Drinking Water Test Kit contains these test kits: E.Coli bacteria, lead, pesticides, chlorine, hardness, pH, nitrates and nitrites. Knowing the pH level of your water can help you prevent secondary effects. If the acidity of your water is too high, corrosion can leach out lead from pipes and plumbing as well as damage your water supply system and water heater. Lead was used extensively in plumbing until the 1980's, and even low levels of lead have been linked to learning disabilities in children and hypertension in adults. Nitrates and Nitrites are common, yet an incredibly harmful pollutant, especially to children and small animals. When animal and human wastes or field fertilizers come into contact with water, they show up as nitrates and nitrites. Both are serious contaminants because they affect the very core of human life - birth and the development of young life. Find out if your water has harmful levels of E.Coli bacteria, lead, pesticides, chlorine, hardness, pH, and nitrates and nitrites!
This WaterSafe All-In-One Drinking Water test kit allows you to test ONCE for each contaminant.

E.Coli Bacteria Drinking Water Test Kit
E.Coli Bacteria is the most likely source of acute water borne disease. Toxic bacteria may enter the water supply from human or animal wastes or natural sources. Multiplying rapidly, they may release a variety of potent, damage-causing molecules called endotoxins. Since contaminated water may not taste or smell bad, most cases of waterborne disease are not likely to be identified as such. Thus, thousands of cases of bacterial illnesses occur every year, many of them fatal. Even mild cases can result in diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Community water systems do take steps to disinfect drinking water, but they may not become aware of problems until it's too late. Find out if your water has harmful E.Coli bacteria! This WaterSafe E.Coli Bacteria Drinking Water test kit lets you perform one test.

Lead Drinking Water Test Kit
Lead from pipes can leach into household water used for drinking, cooking, and washing. Lead is so toxic that even very low levels may be dangerous. Lead consumption and poisoning has been linked to many serious illnesses, especially in young children. Lead can harm mental and physical development and may cause brain abnormalities, kidney damage and hypertension. As with other water contaminants, the risk of lead damage is much greater for children than for adults. Because lead can accumulate in the body, consumers should test for lead levels at each faucet in the home, especially if the plumbing fixtures could be from the 1980's or older. Find out if your water has harmful levels of lead! This WaterSafe Lead Drinking Water test kit lets you perform one test.

Pesticides Drinking Water Test Kit
Atrazine and simazine are two of the most commonly found pesticides found to contaminate drinking water. Topics Pesticides are deadly chemicals used to eliminate weeds, insects and other harmful elements in crops. Their pervasive use, however, has produced its own harm. Pesticides have been linked in Scientific studies to increased cancer rates and chronic illnesses, Exposure has also been suspected to cause deficiencies in the immune system, reproductive problems, birth defects and Parkinson's disease. There are laws that require the regular testing of community water supplies, but they are, in practice, rarely tested. Find out if your water contains harmful levels of pesticides! This WaterSafe Pesticides Drinking Water test kit lets you perform one test.

Chlorine and Hardness Drinking Water Test Kit
Drinking chlorine in small amounts may not hurt you, but chlorine byproducts can. Topics Chlorine byproducts, including chloroform, that chlorine produces when mixed with organic matter. Studies have found that regularly drinking tap water with high levels of chlorine byproducts increases the risk of some forms of cancer. Water hardness can cause lime scale and higher detergent use. Water hardness is primarily caused by calcium and magnesium compounds. These chemicals are not easily detected, but the numerous negative effects can be unpleasant and costly. In fact, calcium and magnesium buildup may eventually damage plumbing and water heaters. Find out if your water has harmful levels of chlorine and hardness! This WaterSafe Chlorine and Hardness Drinking Water test kit lets you test once for chlorine and once for hardness.
