Heavy Metal Test Kit Aluminum Kit 1 Pack - Water Testing Kits for Drinking Water, Home Water Test Kit, Heavy Metals Test Kit for Humans, Metal Testing Kit for Urine, Food, & Other Materials

I ordered 5 or 6 of these kits after finding a substantial amount of aluminum in a hair test.Test 1: Naturally, I tested my urine. The results were indiscernible between 0-.01, but as far as I could tell weren't .05.Test 2: I tested a can of carbonated water that was shaken for about 30 minutes that had sat at room temperature since purchase for ~3 months. Same results.Test 3: I tested water from the reverse osmosis system after being boiled down in my standard cookware to a little more than the test tube volume. Same results.Test 4: I took a bowl of reverse osmosis water and used my Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter to test the solids in the water. There were 25ppm of solids (minerals, etc.), which is about 10% of what the tap water itself tests at - this is normal. I then placed aluminum foil in the bowl moderately crinkled up to maximize water-to-foil contact, covered with foil, let it sit for several days, then microwaved it. Once done, the TDS tested at 124ppm. Since adding 100ppm of guaranteed aluminum to the water, I tested again. This time the results tested between .2-.3ppm... Yet I have ample evidence to support that the test should've been darker than dark purple.Test 5: I tested distilled water with 0 (zero) TDS, meaning there is absolutely no possibility that there could be any aluminum in the water - I got the same results as the first three tests.I saved each test and compared results from one to another and couldn't tell a difference in most. I should've taken a picture to post here.Needless to say, this test kit is completely worthless, since it didn't even register 1% of the verified aluminum in the water. It was fun while it lasted and gave the kids a good science lesson, so maybe not COMPLETELY worthless, but definitely worthless if any valid aluminum test results are desired.

allows to check various substances for aluminum

Unreadable results.

this test is junk, dont know if it works or not because of the poor engineering and even more poor instructions the chemicals went down the drain, if you do order you only get one shot to get it right so better be very careful
