Water Test
HEALTH MATE Heavy Metal
Detect toxic heavy metals in your water instantly with our high-sensitivity Water Heavy Metal Test Strip for effortless home and field water quality monitoring
Water heavy metal testing is crucial because heavy metals in water can be a serious health risk, potentially leading to various diseases and developmental problems, especially in children and pregnant women.
Many heavy metals are undetectable by taste, smell, or sight, and boiling water doesn't remove them, making testing the only reliable way to ensure water safety

Key Parameters
| Parameter | Significance |
|---|---|
| Iron |
Normal Level: 0 – 5 ppm (mg/L) Iron is common in water systems due to pipe corrosion. While it is an essential nutrient in tiny amounts, high levels create sediment that turns water brown, clogs infrastructure, and ruins the taste of beverages. |
| Copper |
Normal Level: 0 – 1.0 ppm (mg/L) (Levels at 3.0+ ppm are elevated) Copper mostly leaches from household plumbing materials. While needed in trace amounts, elevated copper in water is toxic, causing stomach distress, long-term organ strain, and severe damage to aquatic life. |
| Lead |
Normal Level: 0 ppm (mg/L) — No Safe Level Leading health organizations (CDC & EPA) agree there is zero tolerance for lead. It is a highly toxic neurotoxin that accumulates in the body. It permanently impairs brain development in children and causes cardiovascular and kidney issues in adults. |
