Can Water Rangers testing supplies test for tap/city water quality?
While our kits are designed to test lakes, rivers, and oceans, parameters like lead, copper, calcium, and unwanted chemicals are critical for determining the overall safety of city water. We […]
Why don’t your kits include tests for nitrites/nitrates?
Just like with phosphates, this is another parameter where the tests we’ve tried aren’t sensitive enough unless you’re in a pollution event. Probes we’ve seen don’t seem very sensitive, and […]
Why can’t I test for E. coli?
For optimal results, E.coli tests require an incubator. We don’t currently sell supplies that test for E.coli, but we may one day. Learn more about E.coli here. If you’re looking […]
Why don’t your kits include tests for phosphates (phosphorous)?
We encourage our testers to browse our affiliate Tap Score’s testing services, which include products for phosphates! We are currently conducting research involving tests for high level phosphates, but have […]
