Customer Reviews
This test kit was SO very simple BUT so effective. Grab the water, go through a quick process and within 15 minutes you know if there is an issue with the water tested! The cost is low as well, making this a great tool for everyone!
I recently purchased a water testing kit from Detek to check the safety of the Llano River for both myself and my pets and I couldn’t be more impressed! The kit was incredibly easy to use! I was relieved to find that there were no toxins detected in the water!
It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that I could confidently enjoy the river without worrying about bacteria, etc. Worth every penny!
This blue-green algae toxin test was super easy to use! The instructions were clear and it only took about 10 minutes start to finish. I tested a few different water samples and thankfully all came back negative, yay! The only small thing is that the lines on the test are a bit faint, so it can be a little tricky to read in certain lighting. Otherwise, really simple and reassuring to have peace of mind about my water quality!
I love to take my dogs for a walk next to the water. This test gives me peace of mind when toxic algae might be present. I highly recommend it for anyone that spends time near bodies of water.
Super easy to use!
