How it Works: Bacteria are the most likely source of acute water-borne disease. The presence of bacteria in drinking water is usually the result of a problem with your region's water-treatment plant or private well. Certain treatment methods may not be working properly and adequately removing all viable microbes. A positive result indicates that your water may be contaminated with bacteria that can be harmful to your health or cause disease.

Care of: Keep the test kit out of reach of children and animals. Do not ingest any part of the test kit, or any water used in the test. Do not open any parts of the kit until you're ready to perform the test. Avoid using hot water or water containing bleach detergents. This is a one-time-use test kit - no part of it can be reused.

Product Usage:
How do I perform the test
1. Take out the Bacteria Test vial and set upright on a flat surface
