DOES YOUR WATER CONTAIN DANGEROUS BACTERIA?
The water you drink every day could be full of disease-causing organisms without you even knowing. Private water sources can easily become contaminated with E. coli and other types of coliform bacteria.
FIND OUT IF YOUR WATER IS COLIFORM BACTERIA-FREE
This test is ideal for screening your well water, for anyone moving into a new house, or if you have any suspicions about your current drinking water. The EPA tests public water sources regularly to make sure no coliform is present, but you won’t know about your private source until you test it.
Instead of calling out the health department, or sending off to a professional lab, this test can be carried out by anyone with ease. No science degree or lab coat required!
CRYSTAL CLEAR RESULTS IN 48 HOURS
Just pour some of your water into the jar, shake for 20 seconds, then leave at room temperature for 48 hours. If there’s bacteria in your water, it will eat up the nutrients in the jar, turning the water a bright yellow color.
Although it’s not possible to test for E. coli separately, this test will still show you if it’s present. A positive test result means your water contains any coliform bacteria, which may include E. coli.

I have a private well, and test the water every 3 months for e-coli. Results are periodically verified with local lab tests. So far, so good.

I tried these out for starters out of curiosity. I work in a lab and we have various coliform bacteria that we use as controls, so I used that as a positive control in one of these. It turned yellow while my tap water samples stayed purple so at least for that aspect they work. I think next time I’ll do a positive and negative control to be more sure but this was a promising result I think.

Less costly solution than using health/water testing containers. Then you only have cost of test.

I recently chlorinated my well and wanted to use this test periodically to make sure coliforms didn't come back. My recently chlorinated water came back with a clean test. But I also tested my neighbor's well that was recently tested by the county and found to contain coliforms and E. coli just to check the accuracy of this product. Unfortunately their test came back negative as well, even though we know for certain they have the bacteria. This test was not reliable.

After shocking my well, I wanted to ensure my water was clear for our EPA water testing. So, I bought these for peace of mind. Instructions were simple to follow, and the test was clearly negative. So was our subsequent EPA testing. I wasn't sure about the test because the material inside the bottle looked like it hit some moisture and was stuck to the sides. After vigorously shaking the bottle, most of the solution dissolved but not all of it. But this test was neg and so was our official test; therefore, I'm going to say it worked well! Be forewarned that the bottle's material smells SO bad and is very strong...wish I wore a mask when opening it!
