Can I use this to test drinking water?

Not really. It's most useful for chlorine levels that are in the goal range for a pool. It does give a rough estimate of PH and CYA (a pool thing) content. Doesn't test for bacteria etc, and not even that precise at what it does measure.

Probably not. The levels of chlorine in drinking water should be well below the detection range of the strips. If you can get a reading with these strips for anything other than pH with drinking water, then you have very hard, over chlorinated, questionably safe drinking water...

The test strip you are using is not accurate/sterile enough to accurately test the PH of water...One thing that everyone should know about these (and other) pH test strips is that they work based on the TDS (total dissolved solids) that are present in the water you are testing. If you are trying to test a true distilled water (with nothing in it, no TDS) the strips won't be effective and I'd recommend you use a test drop for the water sample.

Of course you can, as long as it's water and not some other liquid. If you have any other questions, please email us at hello@trustednutrients.com :)

Yes. You should check the recommendations regarding filtration of non-potable water though.

i use distilled water as i believe (do not know) that ph is 7.0 however the tester only lasted for 18 months.

I would recommend getting an inexpensive alkaline testing kit and test the water from the PUR. If it tests sufficiently alkaline, then no. If it tests closer to neutral, I recommend the H2gO product. I use and enjoy mine very much.

I suppose it will measure the water sample but not speciffically the mix. Just the soil, I dont think it works.

I don't believe this will test water for mold. But you can email or call "My Mold Detective" to see if they have something for water.

I would think so. I would check the mineral content in the bottled water you want to use, my machine (depending on Frequency of use) will indicate with red blinking lights to "descale" the machine aprox every 2 months. I use a Britta filter in a pitcher with tap water and use the filter in the machine also.

Haven't used for home canning but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You have to be careful not to dip the tip too far into liquid (past the black cover) because the device is not waterproof. You also need to buy some calibration fluid to get accurate results. I bought ph4 and ph7 calibration packets to calibrate. They cost about a dollar a piece. This is not a bad tester considering the price. I have been using mine for a saltwater aquarium for a few months and it has worked well.

You would need a lot of saliva and urine TDS readings would be very high. The product is intended to test H2o

No. The purpose of this product is to not have to use test strips. Simply out water in container and pour the liquid in to do various tests. Pretty easy to perform too

I purchased this product specifically for testing the pH of water. It's actually a test for the pH of water for plants. I wasn't able to find another good product for specifically testing the pH of drinking water, so I got this one and it worked well for me. However, it isn't for testing urine. There are many products out there (usually strips) that are made specifically for testing the pH of urine. You can find pH strips for analyzing urine right here on Amazon and you can see from other user's feedback if they are good or bad. If you are still interested in possibly using this product I would go directly to the company and ask them your question since it's their product.

yes, certainly. Just be sure to pour the liquid inside the electronics instead of on the top tray. Otherwise it will just run off.You will only have a split second to see the readout however.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that. I no longer have the tags for reference. I had no intention of using it for drinking water, so I didn't share your concerns.

Yes. But if I were using it for drinking water, would set it aside exclusively for that use only (and of course make sure your hoses are clean before each use).

No its for distilled alcohol only. It measures the amount of alcohol in the water from a distilled batch
