Drinking Water Test
It used to be complicated and expensive to test your water. But not anymore. The
WaterSafe All-In-One Test Kit is a quick, convenient and affordable way to check
the water you use for drinking, cooking, brushing your teeth, and everything else
in your home. Water quality is important for everyone to know. Watersafe
® identifies harmful levels of eight different common contaminants in water: Bacteria,
Lead, Pesticides, Nitrates, Nitrites, Chlorine, pH and Hardness. Watersafe test
kits are accurate, easy-to-use and produce results on the spot. One-step test
kit that can detect dissolved lead at levels below the EPA Action level of 15
parts per billion (ppb). Many types of potentially lethal bacteria, including
E.coli, can be found in drinking water. Lead is a highly toxic substance that
can leach into water from pipes and fixtures or natural sources.
Millions of pounds of pesticides and nitrates are released into the environment
each year. If these pollutants are in your water, it may be a health hazard. And
if there are children in the household, the risks become even more serious.
You cannot see, smell or taste most contaminates, but if they are in your
water, the potential dangers to your health are staggering. Take this simple test.
You owe it to yourself to find out if the water you drink is safe.

The Watersafe®
test kit contains everything you will need to find out simply and accurately if
your water contains unsafe or undesirable levels of one or more of 8 common contaminants.
Follow instructions carefully and compare results to the desired values below.
Drinking water which tests outside the desired values may be dangerous to your
health. Water

THE MOST LIKELY SOURCE OF ACUTE WATER-BORNE DISEASE - E. coli Bacteria and other
potentially dangerous microbes are commonly found in our environment, but they
should not be present in our drinking water. Thousands of cases of bacterial illness
occur every year, many of them fatal. Many strains of bacteria are not toxic,
but some can cause very serious illness. Even mild cases can result in diarrhea,
vomiting, cramps, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Young children and those
with weaker immunity are more likely to be affected. Since contaminated water
may not taste or smell "bad", most cases of water-borne disease are
not likely to be identified as such. The presence of bacteria in drinking water
indicates that treatment methods are not working properly and are not adequate
to remove all viable microbes. When treatment fails, drinking water may become
potentially toxic. Community water systems take steps to disinfect drinking water,
but they may not become aware of problems until it's too late. This bacteria was
first recognized as a cause of illness in 1982. |
| | Lead
LEAD FROM PIPES CAN LEACH INTO HOUSEHOLD WATER USED FOR DRINKING, COOKING, AND
WASHING - Many homes and buildings have pipes and plumbing fixtures that contain
lead. Lead can leach from pipes into household water, making this plumbing a major
source of water contamination and a potential source of toxic lead poisoning.
Lead is so toxic that even very low levels may be dangerous. Lead consumption
and poisoning has been linked to many serious illnesses, especially in young children.
Lead can harm mental and physical development and may cause brain abnormalities,
kidney damage and hypertension. As with other water contaminants, the risk of
lead damage are much greater for children than for adults --families should be
particularly concerned about the health of the water supply. Consumers should
test lead levels at each faucet in the home, especially if the plumbing fixtures
could be from the 1980's or older. Lead from pipes can leach into household water
used for drinking, cooking and washing. |
| | Pesticides
PESTICIDES ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN DRINKING WATER - Pesticides are deadly chemicals
used to eliminate weeds, insects and other harmful elements in crops. Their pervasive
use, however, has produced its own harm. Now it is not uncommon to find pesticide
contamination in our drinking water. Atrazine and Simazine are two of the pesticides
most commonly found to contaminate drinking water. More than 60 million pounds
of these two chemicals are introduced into the environment each year as herbicides,
and left to potentially leak into the soil, groundwater, and the lakes and rivers
that are the sources for the water we drink. They are so toxic that the EPA-mandated
maximum level is equivalent to less than one drop in a swimming pool. There are
laws that require the regular testing of community water supplies, but they are,
in practice, rarely tested. Now, Watersafe® brings laboratory-level accuracy
within your reach. |
| | Nitrates
and Nitrites A COMMON YET INCREDIBLY
HARMFULL POLLUTANT ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN AND SMALL ANIMALS - When animal and
human wastes or field fertilizers come into contact with water, they show up as
nitrates and nitrites. Both are serious contaminants because they affect the very
core of human life - birth and the development of young life. In 1992, when the
survey was released, some 22,500 infants drinking domestic well water were esitmated
to be exposed to levels of nitrates exceeding the EPA safe drinking water limits;
for community systems, the number was esitmated to be 43,500 infants. |
| | Chlorine
DRINKING CHLORINE IN SMALL AMOUNTS MAY NOT HURT YOU, BUT CHLORINE BY-PRODUCTS
CAN - The consumption of chlorine in very small amounts most likely will not cause
you serious harm. What may be harmful, however, are the by-products, including
chloroform, that chlorine produces when mixed with organic matter. |
| | Hardness
WHEN YOU HAVE HARD WATER, IT CAN TAKE TWICE AS MUCH SOAP TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY -
Water hardness is primarily caused by calcium and magnesium compounds. These chemicals
are not easily detected, but the numerous negative effects can be unpleasant and
costly. When you have hard water it can take twice as much soap to do your laundry. |
| | pH
KNOWING THE PH LEVEL OF YOUR WATER CAN HELP YOU PREVENT SECONDARY EFFECTS - If
the acidity of your water is too high, corrosion can leach out lead from pipes
and plumbing as well as damage your water supply system and water heater. |
