Product Description

This easy-to-use water bacteria test, can be used to check the presence of coliform bacteria with simultaneous E.coli detection. Coliform bacteria are commonly used as a bacterial indicator of the sanitary quality of water. Some examples of coliform bacteria include E.coli, serratia, enterobacter, ctirobacter and klebsiella.

Suitable for: fresh water samples, including water from tanks taps, wells, springs, boreholes, ponds as well as rain water

Bacterial contamination may not be detected by taste, smell or sight. Floods, human or animal waste, like insects, rodents or animals entering a well can be a cause for bacteria. Public water supplies should be regularly d, but contamination can also happen in the home, ie. in water tanks or bad plumbing. Private water supplies, like wells or springs, should be d regularly.

Contaminated water may not smell or taste bad, but the presence of even small amounts of some kinds of bacteria can cause anything from upset stomachs to hospital visits. Some waterborne bacteria can even be fatal! Test your water for harmful bacteria with our simple do-it-yourself kit. The bacteria test kit detects total coliform (which is faecal bacteria for the most part), and is a presence/absence test of 1CFU per 100ml. Should the result be positive, then the presence of E.coli can be detected using a UV light*.

*a blacklight with a wavelength of 365 is recommended , ie. the NVF-4 blacklight

A positive result indicates that your water may be contaminated with bacteria that can be harmful to your health or cause disease. It is strongly recommended to investigate this further and avoid consuming the water during that time.
