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 got this mainly because I was curious about my home water and wanted to compare tap vs filtered water. It’s pretty simple to use. You just dip the strip in the water and wait a bit, then match it to the color chart. I liked that I could run several tests without it being complicated or messy. It covers a lot of different things, so it gives you a decent overall idea of your water quality. The bacteria test is included too, but that one takes longer and you have to follow the timing pretty carefully. The only real downside is that the colors can be a little tricky to read depending on the lighting, so it’s more of a general guide than anything super precise. Overall, it’s a solid kit if you just want to get a quick understanding of what’s in your water and compare different sources.

Easy to use, quick results, and clear instructions. Tests multiple things at once and works well. Great value.

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’m really happy with this water testing kit! It feels very simple and easy to use, not complicated at all. The strips give quick results, and I like that it also includes a bacteria test for extra peace of mind. Simple, practical, and perfect for checking water at home. Would recommend!

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 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!!

With this drinking water test kit, you can find out how clean or contaminated your water is. It’s a very good kit—easy to use, and I definitely recommend it 😊 Taking care of what we put into our bodies should be a priority.

The strip doesn’t change colour.

Los indicadores de color son confiables. Varify es estricto con los tiempos y la sensibilidad de sus tiras. Solo sigue las instrucciones. Recomiendo evaluar 2 o 3 veces tu muestra, si bien deseas asegurar un resultado confiable. Además, contrasta el resultado con agua de la llave y agua embotellada. Suena a un desperdicio de tiras reactivas, pero vale la pena comparar qué tan variable es la calidad de una fuente de agua.

Excellent water test kit! Very easy to use and gives quick results. The 17-in-1 strips and bacteria tests make it great for checking tap or well water at home. Very useful and reliable. Highly recommended.

As far as I can tell it's efficient! Easy to use

Easy and accurate
