Don't waste your money. Bought two of them .Both blew apart after two to three times using them. You have to pay S&H; under the warranty.

In my opinion, yes. It comes with advice that you can use to detect dissolved solids in the water. Use it with your tap water and then check water from the filter to see the difference.

Unfortunately not, but it is the chemical which is used on a regular basis to assure water quality. Just browse the Internet you will find plenty of info on the other chemicals you need to use.

Another reviewer said they contacted the company and confirmed it was BPA free, however, there is no indication on the packaging that it is, also I personally do not feel that it is based on the taste of the water. Read my review for more details.

The fact that the description says the words "BPA free" are printed on the bottle, but it does not specify that the bottle is actually BPA free is suspect enough for me NOT to purchase this product. Please look up plastic #7 to see if this is safe material for water and that it does not leach.

These pouches contain the actual drinking water, this is not a water purification system. So think of these pouches as small bottles of purified drinking water

I am not sure that it's certified, but it works very well with our iphones and ipads - so well that we may have to buy another one because our daughters have discovered mom's "battery thing" and often drain it and forget to recharge. We like it, and its worked with everything from the apple products to android and blackberry phones. Very useful when travelling or going on extended outings.

You could try it. It's used for drinking water so I assume it could also be used for that.

Most likely but I don't think it is designed for that. It calls for water. I use bottled water with less impurities.

No, it is only for filtering for taste. Does not get other contaminants like bacteria, lead, etc. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. This is the minimum. Filters for making truly potable/bacteria-free water are NSF 53 (53 means they filter bacteria like naegleria, cryptosporidium, and giardia).

These test strips are for chlorinated pools. Drinking water has a much lower chlorine level, even before filtering. I'd check something for use in an aquarium where the desired level of chlorine is zero

sorry, unsure about that. I gave it to my dad as a gift. I know he carries it with him everywhere, but he's not around water (besides drinking it) for his job. from it's design when i put it together, i would guess that it's not.

I don't think so. I searched on the web and nothing came up saying it is certified.

It was stated not to use this water for drinking water, but that it was ok for watering the yard and garden. We use the barrel to store emergency water to be used for bathing and other uses that don't involve drinking it. We have a separate barrel which is food grade for storing potable water, though you still have to run it through a filter before drinking.

Im not sure.....but I use bottled water so that it does not have chemicals to corrode or clog..

Yes, we've been using it for our drinking water for over a year with excellent results. We went from about 250-300 ppm to 3-4 ppm!! (Store bought water tested about 150-200). Highly recommend!!!

I wouldn't know because I bought it for someone else & they had no complaints about it. It was mixed in bottled water.
