Perform Test

• Place the test trip into the vial with the arrows pointing downward.

• Allow the vial to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes on the ﬂat surface.

Prepare Your Water

Sample for Testing

• Pick up the dropper pipette. While tightly squeezing the bulb at the end

of the pipette, dip the open end into your water sample. Release the bulb

to extract a portion of the water sample into the pipette.

• Lift the pipette out of the water and hover it over the opening of the

small vial in upright position. Tightly squeeze the bulb again, transferring

the full pipette of water into the small vial. Use only one pipette-full

of water.

• With one hand, gently swirl the vial for several seconds, then place the

vial on a ﬂat surface.

If no lines appear on your test strip, or both lines are very

light, the test did not run properly, and the result is not

conclusive. Unfortunately, all Do-It-Yourself testing has

limitations due to certain Physical and/or Chemical prop-

erties that may exist in your water supply. An inconclusive

result is due to such background interferences that are

out of your and our control.

We care about providing you with useful test results.

If background interferences have caused your DIY test to

be inconclusive or you wish to gain conﬁrmation of Lead

being present or absent in your water supply, please go to

SafeHomeTestKits.com, where you may purchase

Safe Home

Lead in Drinking Water Test Kit that

issues testing at our EPA Certiﬁed Laboratory.

Our lab has Quality Controls against background inter-

ferences. All fees are covered in the purchase price of

the kit, including Free Return Shipping of your water

sample to our lab.

*available to customers living in the USA only

If your test strip shows a positive

test result, your water likely contains

Lead at or above the USEPA's Action

Level (0.015 ppm). The Lead may

originate from your water supply

or it may be leached into your

water by plumbing fixtures that

contain Lead.

You may wish to consider an

alternate (proven to be safe) water

source until you have a solution to

your Lead contamination problem.

You may also wish to consult a

Water Treatment Professional

in your area.
