Having a desire to test my drinking water in Pattaya. Has anyone purchased a kit that is adequate if so where and what does it measure.

Has anyone taken there water sample to a lab to test as I would like to know the difference in purchased water and 5 stage filtered water to insure my family's health.

I plan to travel to USA next month and saw a few different test kits but would like to know what is most important.

Bacteria and Alkaline count...

I think your best bet would be to buy online, Ive seen them for about $20. be interested to hear the results if you do

Open the link and read the info before deciding on "a test"

I would recommend a 5 stage reverse osmosis system and add a UV if you want to rely pure safe water ....and you can buy a TDS meter from Lazada for about 600 to 700 b .....

My system has a reading of about 0..005 ppm (0.00 ppm being distilled water ) ...I have 2 TDS meter ( I was paranoid when I first started filtering my own water )......I have also tested several shop bought bottled waters with my TDS meter to compare and non tested close to the water quality from my RO system .

http://www.waterfiltersonline.com/tds-sources.asp this site is very useful and there is a test calculation for telling you when you need to change your filters in your unit

Get a test kit from the USA it will test for more things and with more accuracy
