Quickly and simply test your drinking water to see if it has any harmful contaminants. We can't easily test for antibiotics or microbacteria but we can check for metals, alkalinity, chlorine, fluoride etc...

If you have UV and / or RO water filter you most likely have clean drinking water. There are rare occurrences where reservoirs or taps have contaminant issues so it's just reassuring to know the status of the water you drink every day.

In the USA;
The Clean Water Act (CWA (not the "Safe Drinking Act" as I incorrectly referred to in my video)) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters

In the UK;
The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) was formed in 1990 to provide independent reassurance that water supplies in England and Wales are safe and drinking water quality is acceptable to consumers
