It does the work compare with expensive brands

I got this out of curiosity. The test instructions are easy to follow. There are 100 test strips divided into 5 sealed packets along with a vile to hold the water that is being tested. There also are two small containers with powder in them for testing for bacteria along with an instruction pamphlet. I haven't used the test for bacteria as of this time, but I have used the strips to test my tap water. The strips were mostly easy to read but I did get a bit confused with a few of the readings. One being the chlorine level reading. The color didn't come close to any in that line of readings. It was more bluish gray when all the colors in that line were in the orange/red colors. Not sure what that means. The Ph and alkaline were the other two. I thought that if one was low, it would mean the other would be higher. I'm going to have to read up on it since both show on the lower end. I did like that the colors that represent normal readings where underlined and marked ok. I'm not sure on the accuracy, but the readings are about what I would expect overall in city water output. Now that I have the test strips, I want to take them with me when visiting friends/family to see how it compares.

These water test strips worked well and were easy to use. The instructions were clear, and the results were easy to read. It seems to be accurate to the best of my knowledge based on knowing the history of what my water has been like over the years in my house. Great choice for checking the quality of your water. The whole kit is a good value!

This 17-in-1 water test kit is easy to use for my home. The 100 strips test for lead, bacteria, hardness, and more, giving me peace of mind about my tap water. The results are quick and clear, and the bacteria tests are a great feature. The strips can be a bit small to handle, but it’s a thorough kit for water safety!

I sometimes deep fry foods and clean/filter my oil after every use, typically tossing the oil as soon as it smells off, but wanted a more scientific way to check the safety of old oil. This is a standard titration kit that measures oleic acid/free fatty acid content of fryer oil. I was surprised to see that my fryer oil, which I was thinking was too old to use any more, was well within the safe range. I think this kit is most useful for people who deep fry in a tempura pot or enameled cast iron pot since it's much harder to keep the oil clean in a manual frying setup, and those burned bits are a big contributor to oil rancidity. For anyone who reuses frying fats this is a cheap safety measure, and you will either figure out it's time to get rid of that ancient pot of bacon fat you've been using for a year or will save money not sending gallons of perfectly good frying oil to the hazardous waste center.

This kit is a fantastic alternative to lab testing if you want fast and affordable insights into your water quality. It comes with a wide range of tests—including ones for bacteria, lead, hardness, and more—and everything is very straightforward to use right out of the box. Instructions are clear, and the visual indicators are easy to read. Best of all, results are nearly instant, which makes it incredibly convenient. For the price, it’s a great value considering how many tests are included. Whether you're checking tap water, well water, or even just curious about what’s coming out of your fridge filter, this kit gives you the tools to do it without the hassle of mailing anything in. Highly recommended for homeowners, renters, or anyone who wants a quick check on what they’re drinking.

The strip is made out of plastic. It melts if it stays more than half a second in hot oil.
