DOES YOUR WATER CONTAIN DANGEROUS BACTERIA?
The water you drink every day could be full of disease-causing organisms without you even knowing. Private water sources can easily become contaminated with E. coli and other types of coliform bacteria.
FIND OUT IF YOUR WATER IS COLIFORM BACTERIA-FREE
This test is ideal for screening your well water, for anyone moving into a new house, or if you have any suspicions about your current drinking water. The EPA tests public water sources regularly to make sure no coliform is present, but you won’t know about your private source until you test it.
Instead of calling out the health department, or sending off to a professional lab, this test can be carried out by anyone with ease. No science degree or lab coat required!
CRYSTAL CLEAR RESULTS IN 48 HOURS
Just pour some of your water into the jar, shake for 20 seconds, then leave at room temperature for 48 hours. If there’s bacteria in your water, it will eat up the nutrients in the jar, turning the water a bright yellow color.
Although it’s not possible to test for E. coli separately, this test will still show you if it’s present. A positive test result means your water contains any coliform bacteria, which may include E. coli.

The 2 day testing time is quicker than most other methods. Gives a good indication.

We just shocked our well and wanted to test to ensure it worked. Tested both right at the well and from the faucet in the house. Easy to use test which was negative in both cases and I now feel confident to drink my water (had already tested minerals).

[-My last review was removed. It's difficult to review a product which tests for coliform bacteria without violating amazon "community guidlines". So I will ****** out some essential words.-]This ****** test is easy to use with clear results. I tested 2 separate water supplies for **** with another companies kit afterwords to compare and verify. Both kits returned the same results in the time frame. They seem to agree, no **** in my water. Good **** test. **** you for reading my review. Have a good ***.

After traveling for vacation, the G.I issues I've been receiving since moving vanished. I assumed they were caused by coliform in the water when they returned after I came back, and although this test says there is no bacteria found in my water, the gi issues disappear when I drop brushing my teeth and cooking with it.... I suspect the test doesn't work.

I have a ground well and was told by my neighbours that the water is potable but I did not want to take any chances so I got this kit to test for Coliform Bacteria and the results were negative so I have a sense of peace of mind. However I have no way of confirming the results so I have to trust the manufacturer of this kit.So far I have drank the water with no problems.The kit was very easy to use, the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

I followed instructions exactly to collect the water sample. I have experience with collecting sterile samples, so this protocol is not new to me. At exactly the 48-hour mark, the sample seemed to be at a transitional point between purple and yellow, but the label on the bottle made it REALLY difficult to tell for sure. So i transferred the sample into a clear glass jar to read the result. It was still difficult to tell what color it was, as the sample seemed to be more of a purplish brownish yellowish color than the clear purple or yellow shown in the pictures. The sample also ended up being cloudy, even though we have clear water. I found this odd. I took a photo of the result outdoors in natural light and indoors, and in the photos it looks purple. **This is NOT how it looked to the naked eye.** (I'm unsure of why these things happened, but maybe the company will be able to advise once they read my review.) So long story short, we treated our well with bleach as a precaution, and I'm mildly annoyed that the results weren't crystal clear.

We are selling a family home which is served by a private well. The county requires testing of the water, which came back positive for total coliform (not e-coli). Test was done by a private lab, and my first reaction (before spending a lot of $$ on water treatment) was to verify the test. I purchased this kit, which was easy to use and showed no bacteria at all. I then purchased a 5 vial kit from LaMotte, which also showed no bacteria. Armed with those results, I hired a different professional lab to do another test. That test also came back clean!My family has been drinking this well water for many years. It's clean, cold, tastes great and nobody has ever gotten sick from it. The only parasites are the testing companies, inspectors, agents, and everyone who wants a piece of your hide... I'm glad these products are available!
