Copper is a poisonous metal that can cause long-term health and behavioural problems. Drinking water contaminated with copper can cause serious health problems. There is no safe level of lead. Children under six years of age and pregnant women are at the highest risk.
Ingesting high copper levels can cause sickness, including vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and headaches. Exposure to high copper levels over a long period can cause kidney damage, and liver damage and consumption of extremely high levels of copper can cause death.
Our Copper Test Kit has been designed to detect deficient levels of copper in water.

COPPER TEST KIT INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove one strip from the bottle and replace the cap immediately (strips must be sealed to protect against humidity).
- While holding the copper test strip from the opposite end of the test pad, immerse the reagent area (the test pad) of the strip in the water specimen or water stream and wait for 1-2 seconds.
- Tap off excess water and wait 60 seconds
- Hold the copper test strip vertically and raise the colour chart.
- Compare your results to the chart. Read the test results carefully in a well-lit area with the test pad held near the colour chart.
- Match the test strip colours with the corresponding colours on the chart and record your results.
- Changes in the colour that appear after 60 seconds are of no diagnostic significance.
- Discard used test strip
Store this test kit in a cool, dry place. Exposure to sunlight and moisture will degrade the test pads.
