This is a quick video to show you how to easily test your water quality with Med Lab Diagnostics water test strips. These particular strips have 16 different contaminants or parameters that you can test for. Use for any water source. There's an EPA Recommend Max Limits Chart for contaminants included in the guide that comes with the box of strips. You can compare the results you get for your water against the EPA recommended limits.
These drinking water strips are available online here: amzn.to/2P0uanX

I wish they make test strips more geared towards drinking water. instead of swiming pool and spa.. i was looking for the other heavy metals arsenic manganese etc but instead see cyuniric acid which is what people put in their swimming pools..

Hi! Are the results of these water test strips reliable?

How do you know what is the top of the strip versus the bottom of the strip in order to align it properly with the bottle color chart?

The aluminum was very easy to read. Two thumbs up

Can’t forget about the sulfate. Good job with that too

Once you open the bottle with test strips, how long are they good to use ?

How does one coordinate the numbers above each color square on the test strip with the numbers below each item being tested? For example, one of the items being tested in the video was water Hardness. Below the word "Hardness" on the list to the left of the color blocks, it says "60S." The person doing the test got on her test a water Hardness of about 25. Is one supposed to do some kind of mathematical calculation using the two numbers to figure out how many grains per gallon there are? I'm trying to figure out what level of water softener I need. Thank you.

Hello! The 25 is the result for water hardness. The 60s is the number of seconds you wait before reading the result on the color chart. Hope this helps! For further questions, please message us at info@medlabdiagnostics.org

I found that my strip shows that my pool is high in cyanic acid? what do i need to do to fix that? Also the PH was red ?

Hi Fernando. You can message us at info@medlabdiagnostics.org with any questions you may have about our products. In order to fix the high cyanuric acid problem in your pool, you can dilute your pool water or buy pool products that can reduce the acid. A red pH usually means an acidc ph. thanks!

Can you check if these tests actually work? Especially lead, mercury, copper. Measuring pH, hardness is simple, most strips work fine. Measuring metals is complicated.
