Rapid Bacteria Test 10-Pack. Detects E.coli, Pseudomonas in 15 minutes. Ideal for pool, spa & recreational water.

So we bought these when our well dried up just incase . All was well till one day recently our over flow pipe was running we realised the Babcock in the tank broke easy fix tho when my husband was up there he noticed bugs in the water we were stick to our stomachs that we had been drinking it but anyway I tested the water with these strips . It showed a negative result for any bacteria was so glad . We contacted the water people who wanted to do there own test costing us again more money but for safety reasons we wouldn’t chance it .The results showed 23 counts of E. coli. Something this test strip is supposed to show big fail and a huge risk to health we have 5 children one own 7 months . It’s a scary thought .Don’t trust these strips .

It arrived on time was well packed and did what it said it would do. Looked up a youtube video just to check I was doing right. Testing hot tub for pseudamonas I got a negative result which was great. However as I understand it, the maximum measure allowed is 10cfu/100ml whereas this measures to 1,000cfu/ml so not really sensitive enough for anything more than a very general indication. I should have understood this before buying it.

After we all got ill from the hot tub i bought these it came up positive for bacteria that causes hot tub rash , i went to a specialist hot tub place bought all the correct chemicals needed for my hot tub cleaned it out refilled it added correct chemicals as shown by the guy in the shop , tested negative for any bacteria like others have said it doesn't even give any reading to tap water alone so dont waste your test strips on tap water , if your hot tub if showing bacteria its in there! I 100% recommend these strips you need to buy the correct chemicals dont buy the cheap ones off here they dont work.
