Water Testing and Filters Advice

Unfortunately i had to buy it on ebay from the states. Ebay charges stupid prices for freight and they also now add on import tax. Crazy.

It was a matter of do i want to test the water properly or not?

Some sellers do sell a dual pack test kit, but i will try and buy a few when i go overseas at the end of the month.

If you manage to do so I'd be happy to buy one from you at a price that includes a decent profit.

Final water test results for bacteria.

The instructions say to take the sample then leave in a solution for 2 days, which is today.

I am not too sure of the results so will have to open another thread.

If the test liquid turns purple, then no bacteria, but if it turns yellow then bacteria.

I don't know if my test results are yellow or not, so will start a new thread hand hopefully people farmiliar with The Watersafe Well Water test kid have an answer.

Here are pics of my test result.

The brighter pic is with the camera flash on.

I looked up another thread on water testing for bacteria and the bad or negative sample turns a bright, highly visible yellow.

Thanks rich.

Great and professional reply as usual.

I am leaning to a flawed test result or that the colour is not really yellow.

Should have been at school more in chemistry rather than smoking behind the bushes.

If me with my water tank, kind of filter, my poe 3 filter set up and the 5 stage ro unit still has high bacteria water, then im not sure what the locals are drinking.

According to your picture it looks like you have higher levels of tannin in your water :
