Review: Easy to Use, Fast Results, and Peace of Mind - The Safe Home DIY Bacteria in Water Test Kit is an excellent option for anyone wanting a quick and reliable way to check their water for coliform bacteria. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the kit felt well-made and professional. I appreciated that it provides results in as little as 24 hours, which is perfect when you need answers quickly. The fact that it’s EPA lab-certified and made in the USA gave me extra confidence in the accuracy. I used it to test both tap and filtered water, and everything came back clear—which gave me real peace of mind. The 2-pack is a nice bonus if you want to re-test or use on another source like well water. Highly recommend if you're looking for a straightforward, at-home water test that doesn’t require shipping samples out or waiting days for results.

Easy to use and worked great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to work *by K***H on September 22, 2025* October 22, 2025 Update I had a professional who works with the county health department come out and gather a water sample. He called today to confirm that we did indeed have bacteria in our water, so the test from Safe Home for bacteria did work. The test from Safe Home told us we had bacteria in the water, and the county health department took it one step farther and identified the specific type of bacteria, which was total coliform. Original Review: The test confirmed the presence of bacteria in our well water. I will check it against a professionally completed one by our county next month because of the positive result of bacteria in our water. It is easy to use, but it's important to follow directions to get it right. They tell you not to overfill the bottle with your water sample. My recommendation is to use a very slow flow of water from the faucet and keep checking the water level. If it seems to still be yellow after 24-48 hours, shake it to be sure it's still yellow. At first showed a yellow color that seemed to mean it lacked bacteria, but after 2 days I shook it and it turned green. They do suggest shaking it. The test can be completed quickly. I made sure I cleaned the faucet carefully with Chlorox, ran the water for the recommended amount of time, and had clean hands to be sure I didn't add any bacteria to the test. The test is fairly inexpensive and seems to be a good value for the money. I'm sure the professional test will cost me more, but it will be interesting to see how this test compares with the professional test. The main difference I can think of with regard to this test and the professional test I will get is that this test doesn't break down what bacteria is actually in the water. I just shows a blue or green color that suggests there is the presence of bacteria. ## Frequently Bought Together - Safe Home® DIY Bacteria in Water Test Kit – Results as Fast as 24 Hours – Detects 50 Different Species of Coliform Bacteria – EPA Lab Certified – Made in The USA – (1 Pack) - Bestprod All-New 20 in 1 Drinking Water Testing Kit 120 Strips, Home Tap and Well Water Test Kit for Hardness, Lead, Iron, Copper, Chlorine, Fluoride - Varify 17in1 Complete Drinking Water Test Kit - 100 Strips + 2 Bacteria Tester Kits - Well, Tap, Home, City Water Testing Strip for Lead, Alkaline, Chlorine, Hardness, Iron, Fluoride, Copper & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/206518936-safe-home-diy-bacteria-in-water-test-kit-results-as](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/206518936-safe-home-diy-bacteria-in-water-test-kit-results-as) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
