After months of development, we are excited to announce our newest water test kit from our Quality Check line. The Quality Check Bacteria Water Test Kit - 2 Pack is an EPA based testto check for the presence of Coliform Bacteria in water which is the most likely sources of acute water-borne disease.
Our Bacteria test kit is designed to measure the US EPA standard of 1 colony per 100mL of water, which is why it’s a safe, affordable way to determine the need for bacteria treatment. Ideal for service technicians and home owners, Quality Check Bacteria Water Test Kituses a standard presence / absence growth media to give accurate results in only 48 hours with no incubation required.
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 bacteria in water, but they may not become aware of problems until it's too late. This bacterium was first recognized as a cause of illness in 1982.
