Key Parameters
| Parameter | Significance |
|---|---|
| Bacteria | Normal Level: 0 CFU/mL (The World Health Organization recommends strictly less than 1 CFU/mL for drinking and recreational water). The presence of E.coli and coliform bacteria signals water contamination from animal or human feces, posing immediate and severe health hazards. Chronic or acute exposure can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, infections, and other waterborne diseases. Ensuring a zero-bacteria environment is the absolute baseline for safe water. |
If the test kit shows color changes to purple or red within 48 hours, extreme caution should be exercised, and stop using the water immediately until further testing has been conducted and additional analysis performed. This test kit is intended for rapid screening only.
**NOTE: Any color change after 48 hours should be disregarded.
The test kit is highly sensitive and even dead or harmless bacteria can change the color after more than 48 hours.
