Lead test kit - Made in the USA
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2026 10:01 am
I came across this kit for testing for lead in drinking water.
I'm astounded at how many people think they're saving money by buying cheap, made in China drinking water kits, especially the ones that claim to test for dozens of different substances. Those are almost always completely wrong and misleading, but no one will ever know because these kits aren't regulated or subject to any kind of scrutiny.
On the other hand, Detekt is a US company that serves many industrial clients, and makes superior test kits for home use, whether you're a homeowner or a real estate professional. They're the most accurate kind of testing short of actual lab tests.
If you or someone you know is calling for the "20 in one" kits from sellers with names like yongkangleweikejiyouxiangongisi (which Amazon is pushing even on this product), don't fall for them. Make sure to get testing kits made in the USA from US companies.
