ITS Europe Water Metals Check Testing Kit for Iron, Copper, Cobalt, Zinc, Cadmium, Nickel, Lead, Mercury 480309 (50 Test Strips)

I am not bothered which heavy metal is in the water I want to drink. If the source of your water comes, essentially, from a river, or some place not controlled by authority, it is important to know if it is free from heavy metal. This test is perfect for answering that question. Used to help people in developing countries deal with water polluted from mine workings, these tests help validate their home built attempts at water treatment. Very useful / life saving for some poorer folk.

Misleading information, indicates that it tests for heavy metals including specific metals listed in the information. It does not!!!! It only tests for non-specific metals, i.e. if there is metal present. Not what metal is present, which is what was required! Not worth the money just to see if there is metal present. Item information should not give examples of metals tested if they can not be actually tested for the presence of those listed! Total waste of money!

I was expecting various test strips that would test for the metals mentioned in the add. It should be made clear that its a generic strip for all metals in water.

Beware that this tests the presence of the listed heavy metals jointly, i.e. if the test is positive, it does no ascertain which particular heavy metal is present. Not particularly useful for me - and I don't think the description states this fact. I have not used the product yet, so I cannot give any statement about its ease of use or accuracy.
