Lead Test
The PurTest® Lead Test can detect dissolved
lead at levels below the EPA action level of
15 parts per billion (ppb).
1. Keep tests out of the reach of children and pets. Do not
ingest anything from this test kit. Do not drink water sample
used for testing. Store and use at room temperature (60-86 F).
2. Do not open packets or vial until you are ready to perform
the tests.
3. Do not use on hot water or water containing bleach
detergents.
4. Do not re-use any part of the test kit.
5. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Instructions:
1. Open foil packet and take out all contents. The test contains
(1) Lead test strip, (1) sample vial and (1) dropper pipette,
as well as a desiccant packet (to be discarded).
2. Using dropper pipette, place water sample in the test vial.
To pick up sample, tightly squeeze the bulb at the end of the
pipette and place the open end into water sample. Release
the bulb to pick up sample. Use only (1) pipette full of water.
Swirl vial gently for several seconds. Place vial on a flat
surface.
3. Place the test strip into test vial, with arrows pointing down.
4. Wait (10) minutes. Do not disturb strip or vial during this
time. Blue lines will appear on the strip.
5. Take the strip out of vial and read results:
NEGATIVE: The LEFT line (next to number 1) is darker than
the RIGHT line (next to number 2).
If you only see the LEFT line (next to number 1), the
test is negative.
POSITIVE: The RIGHT line (next to number 2) is darker than
the LEFT line (next to number 1), or lines are equally dark
(Both LEFT and RIGHT lines are equally dark).
6. Note: If no lines appear or both lines are very light, the test
did not run properly and the result is not valid. If a test
strip shows a positive result, your water sample may
contain lead at a toxic level.
Note: If your water test outside the desired values, call
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-438-1942 or
call PurTest at 800-788-4825 for free advice.
