How many tests can you do with one kit? I have 3 wells

You can do tests for different contaminants for only one water source (well), so you will need 3 kits for 3 wells

I'm not an expert, but to my knowledge you have to buy a new kit because the 20 tests have been calibrated to one monitor. Once the tests have been used you need a new calibration betwees test and monitor. Assume that this is mainly marketing strategy because I assume you could do the calibration at home or probably don't need the calibrations that often. Having said that, I use the monitor once a month, so shelf life is nearly 2 years.

One. It works wonders and you only do it when the scum and calcium have built up. So if you have hard water you do have to do it more. I used one every 5 months.

just once. there are several types of test in the box but they're each designed to only be used once.

The readings are on the machine. As for quantities to add depending on reading, your pool store should be able to help you out. Otherwise just add some of what is needed and test again.

Yes, I have two sets of test strips and when I told the folks that mentored me they call them "Guess Strips". This is a much superior testing system, basically you become a pool operator instead of simply an owner.

I am not buying the hype of expensive test kits. I have always used the cheaper kits and have never had any issues. There are instances where you need to be as close as possible to an exact reading but I've found close enough is good enough. Go cheaper in this case.

I just ordered another kit. I would always test from the tap and not the filters. these tests are inexpensive enough that I test fairly frequently.

This test has several capsules for each test you want to run. My soil was really depleted. So I tested the first time to see what it needed, and then added those nutrients, and a week later tested again. I used the recommendations on the instructions to "fix" the soil, and it worked really well. The kit is easy to us. Read the FULL INSTRUCTIONS on the inside. The short version does not work. It will take a few hours or even days for some, because you have to put the soil in "purified" water, and let the soil settle to the bottom and the liquid become as clear as possible. I bought these on Amazon and if I remember right paid less than $10 for the complete kit. It was cheaper that way. I love these tests. Hope this was helpful.

don't know why you would want to. drip testers our far more accurate, and so are test strips for spa and pools. and a lot cheaper.

First: there are 2 tests for 14 parameters and 1 test for bacteria (other kits have fewer parameters and only 1 teat each). 15 parameters total. 2nd: you get what you pay for.

The test will just tell you if there is any in the water or none, that's pretty much it. If you need a clear answer you need to have the tested by a local lab. Some pool stores actually test well water for you if you ask them and their results are a little more accruate than this testing but of course not as detailled as what you would get from a lab.

I have had a pool for approximately 30 years so I may not test as often as some. I can usually tell when I need to test the water before any problems occur. For me, I will test water normally every two to three weeks, but if I see a problem, much more often. For me, this kit will last a couple of seasons. In addition, you can purchase some of the kit test supplies to replenish the kit.

I bought ten and had one that was defective. I think they are "dime a dozen" tests so there are a few defective ones in the mix. It could be you just got unlucky. Also are you testing with urine that is extremely dilute? It may not be concentrated enough.

One tester is provided for each of the 2 main types of mould.The testers once opened are only good for a short time ( I seem to recall they say 30 minutes, and they say wait 5-15 minutes for the first result) - I guess if you came up negative on the first try - you could test a second area and re-run the test (swab to fluid to tester). Of course if you come up positive the first time, there is no way to erase the result to test a second sample.

Your best bet would be to contact the reagent supplier and try to acquire the MSDS for each chemical. If they are the same, they will work. This is a great test kit. It takes me about 5 minutes to run a detailed water test, eliminates the guess work that comes with using strips.

Use what you got :), I would start by having it hooked up and take readings with my VOM to compare all hookups to verify accuracy of all readings.
