By Agnes Dickson


No living creature survives without this life giving liquid. Just like oxygen, it makes life on earth possible. While most other creatures can live with water in any state, people can be extremely harmed if their source is contaminated. Accordingly, water testing kits are now exceptionally critical in our everyday life. They prove to be useful in figuring out how pure liquid is, whether to treat it or forget about it.

Before going about with the test, it always pays to first consider the original source, the targeted use and the amount to be tested. These are necessary so as to settle on the best kit to use at any given situation. More so, it ensures that the process is done faster with the correct sample taken.

If such liquid is used for laundry, the detergents do not lather well, making the entire exercise extremely tiresome. At the end of it all, more soap and other detergents are used to translate to extra costs, which could be ordinarily been avoided if these kits are used.

These kits are available in large quantities and in different brands in several stores both physical and online. Since different manufacturers are responsible for different brands, it is important that you take all necessary measures to acquire the best possible kit at the least possible price. Quality must however not be compromised just for price. It pays to try different versions and ask those who have experience.

Every other kit is usually different both in design and usage. The purpose however is all the same, analyze the liquid content and determine its safety. Many people confuse this function; they are not for cleaning but testing. With the clear mindset, it pays to put them in proper use.

The dry powder reagents are usually time dated and you should start by reading the date. If expired, the readings will be wrong. They must also be stored in cool places to avoid premature expiration. It is advisable to look for wide mouthed testers when buying a dry powder tester.

It is not a good idea to use untested water, particularly when the test kits have become so cheaply and easily accessible. Using them is also easy, you just need to pay attention to the user manual that accompanies each of the devices. Otherwise, the family health should come first.
