Varify 17in1 Complete Drinking Water Test Kit - 100 Strips + 2 Bacteria Tester Kits - Well, Tap, Home, City Water Testing Strip for Lead, Alkaline, Chlorine, Hardness, Iron, Fluoride, Copper & More

I bought this water test kit to check the quality of the drinking water in my home and I was surprised how easy it is to use. It includes many test strips (17 in 1) and also bacteriological tests, which gives a lot of peace of mind because it not only measures minerals, but also possible pollutants.

I grabbed this Varify 17-in-1 Water Test Kit just to double-check what was going on with my tap water, and honestly… I’m glad I did. The strips are super simple to read, and the color chart makes it easy to match up the results without feeling like you need a science degree. From my very first test strip (the one in my photo), I learned a lot and it didn't cost me a lot to learn this all which made it worth the money spent to buy this kit: pH was slightly high (mine looked around the upper end—close to the orangey-red section). Hardness was showing pretty high too—my strip lined up with the darker blue/purple range, meaning my water is definitely on the harder side. Chlorine looked really low (almost no color change), which was a relief. Nitrate & nitrite were basically at 0, which is exactly what you want. Iron looked low, same for copper—both landed in the lighter ranges. Fluoride was minimal, and sulfate looked moderate based on my strip color. Total alkalinity was on the higher side, which matches what I expected from my area. Everything was super quick—dip the strip, wait a minute, match the colors. The bacteria test is also easy, just takes longer (48 hours), but it’s nice having that extra peace of mind. I love that the kit comes with 100 strips and they're packaged in smaller sealed packs so they stay fresh. Plus, a portion of the sale goes to support access to clean water, which honestly makes me feel even better about buying it. If you want a fast, no-stress way to check your tap, well, or city water at home, this kit is definitely worth it. Clear, simple, and kind of satisfying to use. I’d recommend it!

I tested the water from our refrigerator (filtered), kitchen sink (not filtered), and a sealed bottle of water (Crystal Geyser) each 3x to account for any variances. Before testing all three water sources. The bottled water had the best results with water hardness at the low end between 25-50 ppm. However, water from the kitchen sink and refrigerator were equally at the far-end (250ppm +). None of the tests showed unacceptable levels for the other indicators, with the exception being Alkalinity for both the fridge and sink (180ppm +), while bottled water was <40ppm. I wanted to test our water because my wife and I are looking at buying a water softener and whole house water filter, and needed an idea of the quality of our water supply. Overall, the strips are easy to use, and there's plenty of strips for future testing at a relatively low cost.

I bought this water test kit just to check our tap water and I’m honestly impressed. It’s super easy to use, the instructions are clear, and you get results really fast. I like that it tests so many things at once, so you feel like you’re actually getting a full picture of your water quality. The strips are well labeled and the color chart is easy to read. For the price, you get a lot of tests and it definitely gives peace of mind knowing what’s in your water. I’d totally recommend this if you want a quick and simple way to test your water at home.

The product works and very easy to use. I used the strips to test our water several times during different days to make sure it was accurate. The results were the same. I wished they would explain the meaning of each item tested for the water. Instead, I had to do research. The kit came with everything needed. Thank you!

I did some research on the best tap water test kits out there and this one came highly recommended. I was really worried about the chemicals in my tap water. I recently moved from a place that had water so hard, it corroded everything! I didn't dare drink it. In my new apartment, I noticed it wasn't as hard and didn't have the chemical smell my previous place did, but I was still concerned because I live in the same county as before. I drink a lot of water and I'm constantly buying it. The water coming from my new apartment's tap is really clear and there's no chemical smell. I cook and shower with it just fine - couldn't I drink it, too? I went to the county water board's website to do some research and while they've made some improvements, I wasn't satisfied. I wanted to know for myself what was coming out of my taps, so I checked out in-home testing and found a recommendation for Varify 17in1. It comes with everything you need to test your water; it gives you a ton of strips and the instructions are straight forward. It also comes with 2 separate tests for bacteria which freaked me out a little, but I was really happy they were included. I performed the tests and found no concerning additives, like chlorine, lead, mercury or fluoride. The only thing that jumped out was a high level of hardness and sulfates. I was really relieved and felt more confident in buying a water filtering pitcher, which would eliminate the need to constantly buy gallons of water. The bacterial test was separate and did not find any bacteria in my water, so I was definitely happy about that. I am very happy and relieved that I got this test kit, and I feel really good about the results. I totally recommend it!!

I ordered this after recieving a notice in the mail from my city that while the city waterlines are lead free, my house is so old that they dont have documentation as to whether or not pipes that connect up from my house to the city have lead in them or not. Turns out I have no lead, which is good to hear, so uh great job testing kit. You really did it 👍

It is easy to use with clear instruction manual but the results are not always consistent actually it's confusing. But the quantity is sufficient for the price paid. It also comes with glass dipping tube. Edit- Recently they reached out to me, and offered me a solution coz I wasn't satisfied with the result. I am happy with their customer service!
