Water Test Kit

Product Information

DID YOU KNOW? your water authority will test the water in the rivers, lakes and water catchment areas which yields little information regarding the quality of water that actually reaches your tap. It does not take into account the hundreds of kilometres of mains pipe through which it must travel, or the contaminants arising from your domestic pipes which, ironically is likely to be the source of heavy metals such as copper and lead. Water testing is the only way you can adequately assess what you are actually drinking. We are excited to announce the arrival of the Watersafe test kit – a simple, do-it-yourself kit that assesses 10 contaminants and compares them with EPA recommended levels.

1. Pesticides many are linked with cancer
2. Copper can cause digestive problems, liver and kidney damage, increased risk of miscarriage
3. Lead is associated with learning and behaviourhal disorders in children, nerve and kidney damage
4. Iron rust build up will turn the water a browny yellow colour, clog pipes, affect water pressure and may cause digestive problems
5. Bacteria E Coli can cause serious illness and death
6. Chlorine a lifelong consumption is associated with an increased risk of bladder and bowel cancer
7. Hardness causes the build up of lime scale which can affect your whitegoods and a higher use for shampoo and detergents
8. pH of your water the more acidic the water, the greater the rate at which heavy metals can leach
9. Nitrates and nitrites from fertilisers and animal wastes are associated with serious health risks including blue baby syndrome and an increased risk of blue green algae
