About 3x Watersafe WS-207 Lead In Home Tap Drinking Water
Lot of 3 Watersafe WS-207 Lead in Drinking Water Test Kit, Good for 3 water sample testing. *** All Watersafe test kits are for single use only, please buy two kits if you need to test two water samples. The WaterSafe Lead in Water Test Kit makes tesing for potentially dangerous levels of dissolved lead in drinking water a fast and easy process. Giving useful results in just minutes, the WaterSafe Lead Test lets you know if your drinking water contains more than 15 ppb (parts per billion) dissolved lead. Current Inventory Has Expiration Date of 01/2018 or later The USEPA set as a Primary Drinking Water Standard the level of 15 ppb dissolved lead in drinking water. Reaching or exceeding this level, for a water treatment plant, means the plant must immediately act to reduce the level. Failing to do so could result in substantial fines from the USEPA. Why test for lead? Scientific studies have shown that prolonged consumption of lead in water may result in learning disabilities, muscular disorders, damage to the kidneys, and a host of other unwanted health problems. I have city water... so why should I test for lead? Lead can show up in city/municipal/public water supplies. Why? Older water systems may still have metal tubing in use that, in older days, workers used solder (which contained an amount of lead) to join together. Over time water makes its way through the joints to the solder and then lead slowly enters the water supply. To make matters worse, older homes that contain copper plumbing usually have joints fused together with solder that contains lead -- and no State, Local or Federal law can make homeowners or landlords replace older plumbing with newer, lead-free components. If concerned about metals other than lead in your water, we also carry test products for copper and iron.
