Please be careful of any water testing advertisments. Anyone that tests your water for free almost always wants to sell you something (filter or other treatment) that will fix whatever they 'found' in your water. Most of those strips etc reveal things that are common in all approved drinking water. "Look, it turned BLUE! You must buy this filter to save your family!"

I have worked in the water testing business for local government for 20 years. There are hundreds (thousands?) of water testing scams around. So please, take care.

I already drink filtered water (from our Brita Pitcher) and can tell a difference between the regular tap and Brita. But now I'll know WHY! (ew!-ha!)

YES, YES, YES!!! Totally true! And, not just true for water testing either, for MANY THINGS!

Here's the real test! Test the water that's been filtered (either in your fridge, water jug, through your sink filter) to see what that water is like! My mom bought a box of water testing strips about two months ago and gave a few to us- boy this was fun! We have a filter on our sink faucet (it was good) a water filter/pitcher (the strip showed there was MORE bad stuff in the 1 day old water filter pitcher than there was in our bathroom sink!!!) and then we tested our filtered water through our fridge and it showed that it was good)
