Review: SimplexHealth 5-in-One Home Water Test Kit
The SimplexHealth 5-in-One Home Water Test Kit is a convenient and reliable solution for testing the quality of your freshwater. With no powders, liquids, or tablets to measure, this kit provides easy one-dip testing that is both simple and fast.
Each strip in the kit is precisely impregnated with the chemistries needed to test for pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate, and nitrite. To use the kit, simply dip one test strip into the water for 2 seconds without any motion. After removing the strip, shake it once to remove excess water and wait for 25 seconds. At the 1-minute mark, match the strip to the closest colors to obtain individual results for pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate, and nitrite.
The kit comes in a resealable bag containing 5 test strips, making it convenient for multiple uses. It is ideal for testing water in aquariums, aquacultures, ponds, drinking water sources, lakes, and streams. The range of the test strips is as follows: pH from 5.5 to 9.5, total alkalinity from 0 to 720 ppm, total hardness from 0 to 1,000 ppm, nitrate from 0 to 200 ppm, and nitrite from 0 to 20 ppm.
The sensitivity of the test strips is also impressive. The kit can detect pH changes as small as 0.5, total alkalinity changes of 40 ppm, total hardness changes of 25 ppm, nitrate changes of 0.5 ppm, and nitrite changes of 20 ppm. This level of sensitivity ensures accurate and reliable results.
The recommended range for each parameter is pH from 6.5 to 8.0, total alkalinity of 180 ppm, total hardness of 25 to 75 ppm, nitrate of 0 to 20 ppm, and nitrite of 0 to 0.5 ppm. These recommended ranges provide a guideline for maintaining optimal water quality.
One of the standout features of this test kit is its simplicity. The one-dip testing method eliminates the need for complicated procedures or additional equipment. The results are obtained on the spot, allowing you to quickly assess the quality of your freshwater.
