Description
Know what is in your water
The Palinoia 24-in-1 Drinking Water Test Kit screens tap, well, and other household water at home. The kit includes 165 strips and 2 bacteria tests, so you can check a source now and test it again later.
What it tests for
Each main strip checks 16 parameters:
- Total hardness and total alkalinity
- Free chlorine and total chlorine
- pH
- Iron, copper, lead, zinc, and mercury
- Manganese and fluoride
- Chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and carbonate
- QAC (quaternary ammonium)
Four specialty pouches add 7 more checks: nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, aluminum, chromium, tin, and nickel. Two jars screen for E. coli and total coliform. Together that is 16 strip parameters, 7 specialty parameters, and 1 bacteria screen.
How it works
- Open one main pouch at a time. Move the unused strips into the storage bottle and close the cap. Leave the other pouches sealed, and use an opened pouch within 6 months. Keep unopened pouches in a cool, dry place.
- Dip a main strip and hold it flat. Compare the pads to the color chart within 60 seconds, in natural light.
- For a bacteria test, fill a jar to the shoulder, cap it, and shake for 20 seconds. Keep the jar upright for 48 hours at 68–90°F, then read the color. Do not open the jar after incubation. Dispose of it after you read it.
- Follow the separate instructions for the specialty strips.
How to read the results
Match the main-strip pads to the color chart at 60 seconds. On the bacteria jar, yellow or clear means possible coliform or E. coli indicator bacteria were detected. Blue-violet means the target bacteria were not detected. The reference guide lists EPA-based values where they apply, and the record log is there so you can compare the same source over time. A bonus eBook, Understanding Your Home Water Test Results, is included with the kit.
Color charts for this kit are also on the 24-in-1 color chart page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this test?
The strips and jars give an at-home screening result when you follow the instructions and read them at the stated time. They are not a certified lab test.
How long do results take?
Read the main 16-parameter strips within 60 seconds. The bacteria jars are read after 48 hours at 68–90°F. Specialty strips use the times in their own instructions.
Can I test well water?
Yes. The kit is for tap and well water, and it can also be used on pool, spa, and aquarium water.
How should I store the strips?
Open one pouch at a time, keep the rest sealed, and store unused strips from the open pouch in the bottle with the cap tight. Use an opened pouch within 6 months. Keep unopened pouches in a cool, dry place.
