Does this test include 2 of each? I'm interested in doing a before-and-after with the tap water vs. my water filter, to measure the filter's efficacy

I had to return mine cuz one test did not work, but if I recall correctly there were two water test kits EXCEPT for a couple specific tests, of which there was only one test. I believe the description of the product tells you which are the tears that only come with one

Not two of every test. Although it has been long enough I do not remember which test was just one. In short you would need two kits for before and after.

I just use one part 35% and nine parts filtered water to get approximately 3% (a little above that). 35% is too strong for bare skin, but the difference between 3% and 3.5% is too small to matter.

On https://www.zerowater.com/products, they only show two different size filters; one for the portable bottle and tumbler and the other for all pitchers and filtration systems.

I did use tap water but only used the unit twice so I don' t have an answer to that question.

All three. Personally, though, if any result was borderline, I would send my water to a professional lab before drinking it. I would consider the test as a screening device, only.

If you don't see a change, you aren't using enough. I have a 2 cup glass that I use and I add 12 drops and my test strips turn a dark blue green - which is what you want. Different places have different kinds of water, of course, and that might be a factor. Ignore that silly answer below - there is nothing 'scammy' about this product.

It comes with one filter. If the water in your area is really bad, the filter will not last long & it will start giving the water a really sour taste.

Yes you can. The first filter will pick up the large particles of rust etc. and further smaller particles will be removed by the second 1 micron filter. A couple things to take into consideration are the mass of filters must be supported well to prevent leaks and remember you are filtering all your house water including the washer, toilets, shower, etc. Filters have to be changed more often due to the flow. I think it's a great set up and bonus with a refrigerator filter in line for some great drinking water.

Depends which filters are in use...also whether you are adding tap water, or pond water...

Yes, I feel those would work fine. I've been buying the Omni TO1-SS Carbon Wrapped Whole House Replacement Water Filter Cartridge for $8.00 each, so $11/48 for 2 cartridges is a great price. I've just added them to my wish list so I can order them next time.

Yes. We have the Royal Berkey with 2 black filters & 2 white filters. The info listed on Amazon for each filter tells you what they remove. Also you can go to the Berkey web page for addition info. We are very happy with the taste & smell of our Berkey filtered water.

It comes with 2. I bought extra. The instructions say to change the filter every two weeks. I dump all the water out and put fresh in every 4 or 5 days. I think it makes the filters last longer. It's not a bad idea to buy the cleaning brushes too. Makes it easy to clean the pump.

No it does not. Fluoride is a lab test, you can find one here:http://www.filterwater.com/p-380-ntl-watercheck-fluoride-water-test.aspx

I did not know that a filter comes on your heater, but if one does, there is no need for two. But I recommend a filter when using any tank that you refill.

Ed jones beat me to it with his response. The type of water filtered varies in the field every time. In a lab, not very useful. But I agree with you there should be some type of standard test. Maybe there is?

yes, there are 2 of them working at the same time. they are the same with carbon and zeolite in each. be sure to put them in the right way, with the dark side to the back. i put it in flipped one time and noticed a difference in water clarity...oops ;) it is a great tank.

Yes, includes first filter. I am real happy with the unit overall. Good Value -- just plug it in and turn it on. also if you register unit on site, it will send you email reminder of when to replace the filter.
