Water is the second most important thing in our lives (after air) and it is important that it is safe to drink our health depends on it. Not all water is safe to drink, rural water supplies are at a higher risk of contamination.

This kit is designed to give an indication only if common issues are present. Common issues include those which are a nuisance (e.g. they cause staining or taste problems) as well as those which may pose a risk to your health. If any issues are found then please contact your place of purchase for advice you may need to have a water analysis done by an accredited laboratory to resolve the issues
