 I thinkit is a rip off January 7, 2009
The only kit I saw that claimed to test for Hydrogen Sulfide and Iron Bacteria. GREAT! However kit has no test strips for these tests. I called the 800 number for Pro-Lab and was told that of course I could test for this, just smell my water and look in my tank. The reason for ordering the test kit was to quantify and confirm what my nose and eyes told me. That is like selling me a test to check for warm water and telling me the test is to put my hand under the water. They see nothing wrong with selling you a test kit, and the test is to smell your water. Is it just me????
 Works as advertised but not terribly precise August 4, 2008
This test kit is easy to use and does work as advertised but reading the results is rather subjective as the color matching is difficult to do with any amount of precision.
For us it was all we needed because we were just looking for an idea as to whether or not we need a water softener system AND filtration or just one or the other.
If you need something giving you more of a precise range this is not the product for you. But if you want a general idea with a broad range of variability this is worth the nominal cost.

I purchased this in Home Depot to verify iron levels in my well which I knew were high, but not how high. The tests came out as zero. I called the company and they sent me another set of strips to try. They said if this item is stored in a hot area (such as a warehouse) it can lose integrity. That was nice, but the 2nd strips still read around .1ppm. The kit I have is not like any of the covers now selling on-line - mine has a solid blue cover with no people on it - old?. I bought a Hach iron test kit and the reading was around 1ppm - a big difference. I've had the 1ppm verified so the Pro-lab test is not for someone who is trying to determine healthy levels for their household water. If you're going to test on a regular basis, splurge for a more expensive kit to give you peace of mind.
Not exactly what I expected. April 9, 2008

This test advertised in its description that it included:
pH, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, iron, copper, nitrates, and nitrites. Includes 2 of each test, and bonus tests for hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria. With the exception of the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteria, many kits offered this same list of tests. The reason I bought this specific kit was that it did advertise the hydrogen sulfide and iron bacteris "bonus tests", and I needed to know levels of those specifically in determining the type of filters and/or oxidation system to purchase. Well, much to my disappointment, the two "bonus tests" were simply instructions to smell your water, and look in your toilet tank. This didn't help me quantify the levels of contaminants, and I now need to go spend more money on tests to determine those levels.

This is a very convenient and economical way to test water. Living in a home with well and septic, I knew we had a water hardness problem but I didn't know to what extent. Not only did this test confirm that, but it gave me the range as well as allowing me to test for many other minerals as well. In addition, there are 2 sets of test strips per test for future use. The product is inexpensive and very easy to use. I would highly recommend using this kit.
