The pack comes with several tests to run on water as well as a small pamphlet with instructions and charts to compare results against. The Coliform test has its instructions and results printed on the bottle the culture (P/A broth of some sort I assume) comes in.
The instructions were easy to follow and given the timing required for each test, one could run through each in one sitting (save for the coliform that takes a couple days to finish).
In my particular case, the findings were inconclusive (negative coliform, good ranges for copper, nitrite/nitrate, and all of the 4-in-1 readings). My tap water seems fine to drink but my refrigerator (even after replacing the filter) makes me sick if i drink it or use the ice. My search continues!
Oh, the company sends you follow-up e-mails about the product (when it ships, after you get it, etc). This is either heartwarming and endearing or sort of creepy. I haven't decided yet. Good tests, though, this is a solid buy.

Seems accurate but the bacteria test doesn't work
It said my tap water has no lead, no copper, no nitrates, no nitrites, has pH of 7-8, and has super high hardness and alkalinity. I have no reason to doubt it. I used the second “3-way” stick to measure water that went through my fridge water filter, and it said the pH went down to ~6 (a little hard to read for the Orange-ish green range) and hardness went down to maybe 100 ppm. The hardness reading makes sense since the water tastes different, but a pH of 6 seems abnormal for drinking water. It makes me doubt the test a little, but I don’t really know. I haven’t done independent research, but according to the instructions, the ranges on all the measurements have decent resolution and tell me accurately whether they are low, high, acceptable, or unacceptable. (Obviously the lead is only pass/fail for 15ppb.)Update: I added pictures of the coliform bacteria test. I accidentally waited 60 hours instead of the 48 the instructions said. I would still expect accurate results after 60 hours, though, but that's not what I got. It's supposed to be purple for clean and yellow for positive for bacteria. I highly doubt our city water has bacteria in it, but the orange color seems closer to yellow than purple. It definitely doesn't match the bright yellow shown in the instructions, though. I would say totally inconclusive. So now I'm supposed to pay for some expensive water test? I thought it was interesting that when I poured the solution into the toilet it turned very purple. Unfortunately, the instructions didn't tell me what color it should be if I pour it in the toilet.Deducting 1 star because I couldn't figure out the results of the bacteria test and 1 star because it seems a little expensive for what you get. But if it was cheaper I’d probably trust the results less.

Model: Drinking Water TestVerified Purchase
As a mom of 4 and grandma of 12, I am constantly telling me kids and grandkids to make sure they drink plenty of water. However we all know that with the way a lot of companies are doing business, we need to be proactive and make sure that our water is the best we can give our families.
this product is worth every penny you spend.
easy to use,easy to read and understand
take your time during the test and make sure to use clean containers to ensure that what you are putting your water in during testing is clean
The picture of the Bacteria testing is after the 48 period, so yahoo our well is very healthy
I will be purchasing this kit again for sure in about 6 months just to keep my own peace of mind.
I hope the video helps and if anyone has a question feel free to ask
Have a great day and Healthy drinking water to you all
